Title: Fine and dandy
Review: Heiller is far better know as an organist, and as an organist of German music, especially Bach. But he was a mean harpsichordist as well. And of all composers for this strange instrument, Rameau is among the most prolific and tastiest. His La Poule is a famous piece, and this performance shows why.When looking at a reissue, among the most important considerations is how well remastered it is. Well, have no fears. Have no fear, said the Cat. The sound is immediate (sometimes a bit TOO immediate) and clear. Clean, fresh, and snappy, you can hear the clicks and pops of the instrument and the performer. Sounds great.My only caveat is that 51 minutes of unaccompanied harpsichord can be a bit much. But the playing is delightful, and full of smiles. Despite the somber picture of Anton Heiller on the sleeve. Good stuff.
