An exquisite recording by the great harpsichordist Trevor Pinnock. The harpsichord he uses on this album is by Goermans/Taskin from the Russell collection in Edinburgh, and it is one the best, most distinctive harpsichord sounds we've ever heard on a recording. Trevor Pinnock has known these pieces for 30 years or more and after a lifetime devoted to baroque music, it would be hard to find anyone better at it. The suite in A minor is outstanding, one of the finest works written for the harpsichord (listen especially to 'Les Trois Mains' and the 'Gavotte Et Doubles'). The E minor suite is also brilliant ("Le Rappel Des Oiseaux'), as is the title track, 'Les Cyclopes."
