“Jean-Henri d'Anglebert (1629-1691) was one of the foremost composers of Keyboard music of his day. Therefore, the collection of his works, Pieces for Harpsichord is essential to all players of early Baroque Keyboard music. D'Anglebert's Pieces for Harpsichord represents some of the finest achievements of the French Harpsichord school and shows the composer's mastery of counterpoint as well as his ability to experiment with texture to achieve orchestral sonority. Moreover, d'Anglebert's collection contains a table of ornaments which formed the basis of those of J. S. Bach and other significant composers. The first volume of Pieces for Harpsichord comprises four Harpsichord Suites composed by d'Anglebert, each of which consist of the usual dance movements together with transcriptions from Lully's operas. Furthermore, the three unmeasured preludes included in Suites one, two and three are truly remarkable examples of their kind. With a descriptive preface in French, English and German, volume one of d'Anglebert's Pieces for Harpsichord is a sublime addition to the repertoire of early Baroque Keyboard music.”.

D'Anglebert / Harpsichord Pieces / LP54
This book is part of a SET of 2 books within the series of LE PUPITRE (LP54): VOLUME ONE consists of the 4 Suites by D'Anglebert, edited by Kenneth Gilbert, who has also made a beautiful recording of his works. I am a bit concerned about the quality of binding of the book because it is not very well done if compared to VOLUME TWO, which consists of sewn booklets, which is great. On the contrary, VOLUME ONE does not consist of sewn booklets but independent sheets of papers, glued together, which is NOT very nice because with the use, this type of glued binding tends to deteriorate and the leaves to fall. Anyway, for now, I am very happy with the book, even if it is unsewn but just glued. It looks strong, for now!It is not easy to get these beautiful musical scores, so get them without hesitation, if you love D'Anglebert and his time!
