About

A challenge!

Twenty years after his harmonia mundi recordings reviving the tradition of performing the great French harpsichord composers (Rameau, Couperin) on the piano, Alexandre Tharaud now joins forces with his longstanding partner Jean-Guihen Queyras to explore the works of Marin Marais . . . on piano and cello! Drawing on their respective experiences in Baroque music, the two artists have taken up the challenge of presenting the essence of the master of the viola da gamba: timeless, even universal!

Performance *** Recording ***

“…Jean-Guihen Queyras and Alexandre Tharaud are on their customary virtuosic form, and their take on this music is full of vitality but, as Dr Charles Burney once remarked upon the music of CPE Bach, a little habit is required for the enjoyment of it.”

Nicholas Anderson – BBC Music magazine – March 2023

Editor’s Choice – Chamber

“I adore this recording...In a way that evokes Busoni’s Bach transcriptions, Queyras and Tharaud have for the most part opted for intensity and unpredictability.”

Mark Seow – Gramophone magazine – February 2023
