Rameau’s book of pieces de clavecin en concerts, published in 1741, was a brilliant achievement. The composer followed the taste of his time in intending them for various instrumental combinations but he also maintained that “these pieces lose nothing by being played on the harpsichord alone". Noëlle Spieth plays a French double manual harpsichord after Goujon 1749, by Emile Jobin in 1983, tuned to A409. Her version of Rameau’s complete harpsichord music was chosen by France-Musique, Diapason and BBC Music Magazine as the best interpretation to date.
