Charles Noblet
Three Suites
Harpsichord
edited by Michael Talbot
These little-known suites are in the tradition of Rameau’s Nouvelles Suites de pièces de clavecin. Their attractive and colourful pieces are very varied in content, with many original and piquant touches. Largely French in style and containing the usual mixture of dance movements and character pieces, they occasionally betray Italian influence, including the hand-crossing popularized by Scarlatti.
