    Craig Tomlinson of Vancouver certainly produc’d a harpsichord masterpiece based on what appears to be a French original - the look of it & its overall tone is certainly worth all the time & trouble it must have taken to build this wonderful instrument

    Thanks for this video! Lovely playing on a beautiful harpsichord! I don’t know why it’s so hard to find recordings of this particular suite, much less video of a live performance - it’s such a great piece in itself, and of course it’s what inspired Brahms for his own variations on this theme!

    Thank you! Yeah I recorded it actually partially because I found that it's not often played. Live is best! 😀

    Thanks for watching! I've realised that the reason for the shots of the soundboard rose may not be apparent; it is to show the bass strings visibly vibrating as they are plucked!
