- Other info:
John Kitchen continues his much-lauded series of recordings of the world-famous collections of keyboard instruments in St Cecilia's Hall - Scotland's oldest purpose-built concert hall - with a programme specially designed to highlight the unique qualities of the 1755 double-manual harpsichord by Luigi Baillon.
Built in Cyteux, Burgundy, it has a very different sound from Parisian instruments of the time; cleaner and brighter in tone, it is the perfect vehicle for Kitchen's subtly nuanced playing, which brings the sophistication of the period to new life.
The familiarity born of Kitchen's daily experience with the Edinburgh collections and their setting shines through these performances.
