Le clavecin, comment ça marche ? Par Justin Taylor - Culture Prime

With its metallic timbre and plucked strings, the harpsichord is a flagship instrument of the 17th and 18th centuries. From Bach to Handel, by way of Scarlatti and Rameau, the harpsichord shines in the Baroque repertoire, then makes a strong comeback in the 1920s. "The harpsichord is often associated with being dusty, an inexpressive instrument incapable of any nuance. I absolutely reject this idea." Harpsichordist Justin Taylor reveals the full richness of his instrument. #JustinTaylor #harpsichord #primeculture #baroque Find Justin Taylor's concerts on our France Musique concerts channel:    • Scarlatti : Sonate en fa mineur K 467 (Jus...      • Leçons de ténèbres de Michel Lambert par M...   _______________________________________ Credits: Video: Alexandra James Le Liepvre Filmed by: Pierre-Yves Georges and Victor Pascal Head of Video Department: Lucie Bombled Additional Images: Getty, Wikimedia Concerts: DPAV Radio France, Ozango Thanks to Atelier Marc Ducornet 🔔 Remember to subscribe to discover More videos from France Musique! / @francemusique Discover everything about France Musique: ► Website - https://www.radiofrance.fr/francemusique ► Concerts section - https://www.radiofrance.fr/concerts ► Newsletters - https://www.radiofrance.fr/francemusi...
