About this release

Rameau | d'Anglebert
l'Egyptienne
Assi Karttune's harpsichord
Assi Karttunen skilfully interprets a musical expedition to Egypt
(and a little elsewhere too...)
Assi Karttunen's novelty album l'Egyptienne contains Jean-Philippe Rameau's (1683-1764) collection of works for harpsichord Nouvelles suites de Pièces de Claveçin (c. 1728) and also the "dance of different nationalities" Jean-Henry d'Anglebert's (1635-1691) Chaconne de Phaeton (Où dancent une Troupe d'Egyptiens & d'Egyptiennes. Une Troupe d'Ethiopiens & Ethiopiennes. Une Troupe d´Indiens & d´Indiennes)

Reviews

Henkevyyden juhlaa – l’Egyptienne
”Musiikin tohtorin suvereeniudella Karttunen vaihtelee karaktäärikappaleiden tunnelmia, riemuitsee virtuositeetista, korostaa harmonioiden innovatiivisuutta, paiskoo bassopuolta tarpeen mukaan ja punoo korukuviot osaksi musiikkia.”

Ever since Rameau’s music for the theatre was rediscovered
it has overshadowed his contributions to the keyboard suite.
In this department he has always remained in the shadows of
his slightly older contemporary Fran�ois Couperin.
