| Description: | Between 1680 and 1688 three scions of the prominent family of Ghent musicians saw the light of day: Jean-Baptiste Loeillet (of London), Jacques ( Jacob) Loeillet and Jean-Baptiste Loeillet (de Gant). Their similar initials continue to cause confusion, but their musical legacy is an everflowing source of joy, for it is intimate chamber music of the highest quality. John, who most of his professional career in London, had an international reputation in his lifetime. He was the only member of the Loeillet dynasty to write harpsichord music as well, publishing to volumes of music for harpsichord or spinet. The first, dating from about 1712, is still largely indebted to the harpsichord music of Henry Purcell and John Blow. But the style of the 1723 volume is much more personal and combines French grandeur and elegance with Italian velocity and lightness. This CD featuring the six 1723 harpsichord suites is the first complete recording of this somewhat neglected â??Flemish music for the Harpsichordâ?. - JAN DE VLIEGER |
