Harpsichord

The harpsichord genre harks back to the Baroque period and earlier, characterized by the distinctive plucked sound of the stringed keyboard instrument that is its namesake. Harpsichord music conjures a sense of historical elegance and intricacy, with complex counterpoint and ornate, expressive melodies. While played solo, in chamber music, or as part of an ensemble, the harpsichord often provides a crisp, resonant backbone – driving the harmonic structure and rhythm. Artists like Trevor Pinnock and Gustav Leonhardt have been instrumental in reviving interest in the harpsichord, delivering performances that combine virtuosic precision with a deep understanding of period performance practice. Their interpretations, alongside those of other noted harpsichordists, offer a rich and nuanced exploration of works by composers such as J.S. Bach, Couperin, and Scarlatti, immersing listeners in the evocative soundscapes of past centuries.
