Terence Charlston: Harmonious Thuringian
Label: DIVINE ART Catalog: DDA25122 Format: CD Terence CharlstonComposed by: Bach; Fischer; Handel This recording was inspired by David Evans’ reconstruction of a Thuringian harpsichord, c.1715, and a desire to find appropriate repertoire. + These performances explore the musical heritage of Bach and Handel and recreate the harpsichord sound they and their contemporaries may have heard. + The Thuringian in question is a unique instrument, fundamentally different in sound and touch from typical 18th c. harpsichords of the German, Franco-Flemish or ‘International’ schools. + Much evidence exists to suggest both Bach and Handel would have been well acquainted with this style of instrument.
