Tatjana Vorobjova: Le Clavecin Poétique

Virtuoso extraordinaire Tatjana Vorobjova transports the listener to the sound world of the early 17th century with the celebrated 'Colmar-Ruckers' historic harpsichord built over 400 years ago. This poetic voyage traces the development of this instrument over the centuries with works by Froberger d'Anglebert, Couperin, Buxtehude and Bach, providing a rich and vibrant portrait of this magnificent harpsichord.

The instrument's intoxicating fullness of sound combined with its brilliance and clarity are unrivalled. Already extremely valuable at the time it was built, the Colmar-Ruckers was remodelled over time and adapted to the requirements of each period.

Whether Italian gesture, French style brise or North German tradition, with the 'Colmar-Ruckers' Tatjana Vorojbova showcases the incredibly versatile, broad range of sound and rich expressive possibilities of this unique instrument with exquisite transparency.

After three previous albums with works by Krieger, Scarlatti & Bach on her own copy of this legendary harpsichord, Vorobjova's long-held dream of playing the original comes true with this recording. She explores its unique sound in all its facets and immerses the listener into the melancholic and poetic sound world of the 'Colmar-Ruckers' harpsichord.
