I just read the autobiography of Zuzana Ruzickova...
For me easily the greatest harpsichordist...
His musicality is not matched for me by anyone....
I discovered her long time ago with Bach complete recording for Klavier...The first one made...By a woman who loved so much Bach that she defended harpsichord against the prejudice that it was an instrument inferior to the piano.... Which is false...
I discovered her 2 times....The last time this year with my audio room finished and a sound so iridescent than no other artist can compare in this instrument.... Her choices of colors, hues and rythm specific for each music piece is so various that it become heavenly beautiful and refreshing....Good sound conditions can help indeed and she shines in Scarlatti, Handel, Couperin, Purcell, Dowland, Spanish masters or any other works.... A revelation....I am flabbergasted that a so great musician was so underestimated.... But there is many factors i will not touch here...
I listened to all the others albums i can look at and my ears were amazed one album after the other.......She registered perhaps one hundred, where are they?
it is a Czech woman of Jewish origin who loved his country dearly....
His autobiography is moving and a life lesson about music....( she befriended Vaclav Neuman and Karel Ancerl in the Nazi concentration camp for 4 years among other great musicians)
Yes to answer Jim, it is in the water, which is the source of all poetry...
The sound of the video is bad, but it is for the heart more than for the ears...
