Details:
The Harpsichord used for this CD is a Single manual German harpsichord inspired by one of J.S Bachâs own instruments in the â Bachhausâ Eisenach, built by Joop Klinkhamer in 1994, Amsterdam.

On the lid of the harpsichord is written in gold:
âIl Creatore eâl Tutto e lâUno io Cantoâ (I sing about the creator the all and the one).

The songs with the harpsichord were chosen for their beauty and timeless quality to appeal. They are unique because they are a âduetâ between voice and harpsichord.

The solo harpsichord pieces were selected as examples of the earliest English and Dutch harpsichord music of the 16th and 17th century.
