Digital Booklet
Grammy Nomination - Best Classical Instrumental Solo, 2013 "... has great presence without noticeable action noises ... well arranged ... plenty of energy and sparkle ... the ornaments sound just right and smoothly integrated into the music." - Audiophile Audition "Critic's Choice ... revealing a great sensitivity ... the Allemande is profoundly lyrical: every harpsichordist (or pianist, for that matter) who attempts this piece should follow Vinikour’s example ... Rameau’s music deserves a wider audience; perhaps Vinikour’s recording will help bring it about." - American Record Guide "Vinikour’s performances are so buoyant, glistening or noble that you’ll likely find yourself glued to your speakers (or headphones) ... if you’re accustomed to hearing the harpsichord at some distance in a concert hall, be prepared to listen as if you’re standing next to the keyboard or hovering over the strings ..." - Gramophone World renowned harpsichordist Jory Vinikour presents this Grammy nominated album, The Complete Harpsichord Works of Rameau, highlighting Rameau’s compositional penchant for combining technical prowess with musical artistry. Vinikour recorded the works on this double album playing a modern copy of a 1707 French Baroque instrument. The musical and harmonic ingenuity demonstrated throughout this recording, as well as Rameau’s uniquely idiomatic approach to the harpsichord, ensure these works a permanent place in the repertoire of all harpsichordists.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
