Vyhnálek harpsichord model available
Published: Thursday, November 3, 2011 7:00 am
Sonus Paradisi have released a new harpsichord for Hauptwerk. The two manual cembalo was built after the 1624 Johannes Ruckers model, which is kept in Musée Unterlinden (formerly belonged to the family de Sade and was kept at the Chateau de Conde, Condé-en-Brie).
The Flemish cembalo is solid in construction, colorful in tone with a rich resonance. The Flemish makers were apparently the first to build two-manual harpsichords after 1600. The workshop of Ruckers is credited to build probably the most perfect harpsichords ever and it sets the benchmark for harpsichordists and harpsichord makers even today.
Please visit the Sonus Paradisi website for further details and ordering information.
