About the album

De begaafde Ogg speelt werken van de grootste 17e-eeuwse Franse componisten
Luister, het vooraanstaande Nederlandse tijdschrift voor klassieke muziek, reageerde in een enthousiaste recensie als eerste op een ander album van Jacques Ogg met uitvoeringen van Duitse klavecimbelmuziek voor Bach. De recensent beweerde dat Oggs interpretaties, fraseringen en articulaties van dezelfde hoge kwaliteit waren en dezelfde normen stelden als die van Gustav Leonhardt. Bovendien waren de opnames vlekkeloos.

Na het succes van het eerdere album volgt een album van de uitzonderlijk begaafde Ogg met een net zo interessant programma met klavecimbelwerken van twee van de grootste Franse componisten van de 17e eeuw: Louis Couperin en Jean-Henry d’Anglebert. Zoals altijd wordt er gebruik gemaakt van instrumenten die de originele klank van de uitvoeringen volledig vertegenwoordigen. Deze keer zijn dat kopieën van de beroemde Amsterdamse klavecimbelbouwer Joop Klinkhamer, naar 17e-eeuwse instrumenten uit Frankrijk en Vlaanderen.

Jacques Ogg studeerde onder Anneke Uittenbosch en Gustav Leonhardt aan het Sweelinck Conservatorium Amsterdam. Hij treedt over de hele wereld op als klavecinist en fortepianist en geeft regelmatig masterclasses. Hij is inmiddels bekend onder liefhebbers van klavecimbelmuziek.

Jean-Henry d'Anglebert

Jean-Henry D'Anglebert was a French composer of keyboard music from the Baroque period. D'Anglebert might have been a student of Jean Champion de Chambonnières, the founder of what the early French harpsichord school. In any case, both these harpsichordists have had a major impact on keyboard music, and in particular the keyboard suite.  Only one publication of D'Anglebert, one from 1689, is known to survive. This collection consists of 57 works - original works and transcriptions of orchestral parts and arias from operas by Jean-Baptiste Lully - for harpsichord in 4 suites, and 5 works for organs and 5 educational pieces for keyboard accompaniment. The suites are quite long due the inclusion of transcriptions of works by Lully and vaudevilles (popular melodies),...

Jean-Henry D'Anglebert was a French composer of keyboard music from the Baroque period.

In any case, both these harpsichordists have had a major impact on keyboard music, and in particular the keyboard suite. Only one publication of D'Anglebert, one from 1689, is known to survive. This collection consists of 57 works - original works and transcriptions of orchestral parts and arias from operas by Jean-Baptiste Lully - for harpsichord in 4 suites, and 5 works for organs and 5 educational pieces for keyboard accompaniment. The suites are quite long due the inclusion of transcriptions of works by Lully and vaudevilles (popular melodies), to fill the pages. This strive for using the space of the pages most optimally can also be found in his own music, which is strongly modified making the pages black with all the notes and embellishments. This creates a very thick, musical texture. The keyboard arrangements of the full, five part orchestral works by Lully, too, influenced D'Anglebert's own dances. In his allemanes and gigues he made use of thick, five-voiced chords and cramped elaborations within the work itself. His gigues are remarkably fast in tempo and his two polyphonic gigues in 12/8th measure are the first of their kind in France.
