'Vertigo': album out February 2016.
France’s leading young harpsichordist performs works by two masters of the French Baroque. No surprises there, perhaps … but the harpsichordist in question is Jean Rondeau and the album is called Vertigo. It conceives the harpsichord in vividly theatrical terms. Vertigo takes its name from a dramatic, rhapsodic piece by Joseph-Nicolas-Pancrace Royer, who, along with Jean-Philippe Rameau, forms the focus of this album (recorded in the sumptuous Château d'Assas on its magnificent harpsichord).

This boy was born for playing the cembalo. In my opinion the best harpsichordist.

A barefoot young man with wild hair totally into his music making-perhaps this would bring a smile to Mousier Rameau's face. He was known for not dressing very well and being totally focused on Music.

Being barefoot while playing this particular piece is just paying tribute to the piece's title. Amazing brilliant performance!

Fun fact: Rameau was originally inspired to write this after listing to Native Americans from the Illini confederation perform at the Theatre-Italien in paris.
