This was one of my pieces of writing I had a nice feeling about - but no one other than you seemed to share that view!Pliablehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-1116655108073711422005-05-21T06:58:28.073+01:002005-05-21T06:58:28.073+01:00I forgot to put in this post a comment about the sound of the harpsichord in the relatively small music room in the King of Hearts. Many newcomers to Early Music complain of the 'thin' or 'tinny' sound of the harpsichord. This is emphasised if the instrument is recorded in resonant acoustics. The harpsichord is an intimate instrument that needs relatively dry acoustics. In the King of Hearts the magnificent Gotto instrument sounded with a really powerful bass. A real contrast to the 'jangly' sound of many harpsichord CD's.Pliablehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.com
