ELISABETH CHOJNACKA - CLAVECIN 2.000 (Harpsichord / Cembalo 2.000)

PHILIPS - Prospective 21e Siècle - 6526 009

Another Prospective 21e siecle, another joy. I love the sound of the Hapsichord played in contemporary music. This one is a masterpiece. As said in the back cover : "The listener is excepted to play this recording at full volume and in total darkness".
Elisabeth Chojnacka is one of the first "modern" harpsichordists, who has inspired famous contemporary composers (such as Iannis Xenakis or György Ligeti) to write works for this ancient instrument.
