Fernando Miguel Jaloto

Composed by: Dieupart, Charles

French composer and harpsichordist Charles Dieupart spent much of his life in London, founding the Queen’s Theatre opera season in the Haymarket, designed to rival Drury Lane’s.It was there he also became famous for his performances of Corelli, and was also held in high regard as a harpsichord teacher.However, Dieupart’s most enduring legacy is his Six Suites de clavecin, suites were so renowned in Europe that they were heavily drawn on by J.S. Bach, influencing his English Suites and establishing a link between 17th c. French harpsichord music and early 18th c. German keyboard style.
