In an incredible illustration of virtuosic performance, Sono Luminus brings you The Complete Harpsichord Works of Rameau, with world reknowned harpsichordist Jory Vinikour. Rameau's compositional penchant for combining technical prowess with musical artistry is brilliantly showcased on this two disc set of solo harpsichord music.

Rameau's output as a composer for solo harpsichord must be considered among the most important in French 18th century keyboard repertoire, along with that of François Couperin. The musical and harmonic ingenuity

demonstrated throughout these works, as well as Rameau's uniquely idiomatic approach to the harpsichord, ensure these works a permanent place in the repertoire of all harpsichordists.

    Posted At: June 21, 2016 12:00 AM

    It was time for Bach to be reintroduced to the Indianapolis Early Music festival. Not one piece by Johann Sebastian appeared in last summer's IEM, and few have been scattered thither and yon in preceding summers. Ergo an all-Bach violin-harpsichord recital was welcome indeed on Sunday afternoon, especially with performers Rachel Barton Pine, violinist, and Jory Vinikour, harpsichordist. They played a...

  • Jory Vinikour plays Weill Recital Hall / New York Times review
    Posted At: December 12, 2015 12:00 AM

    It's true that the harpsichord lacks a wide dynamic range and can sound brittle when compared with the tonal warmth of a piano. But since harpsichordists can't shape a phrase as they would on a modern instrument, they can vary the palette by switching manuals and registers, which the harpsichordist Jory Vinikour did during his performance of Bach's Partita No. 3 at Weill Recital Hall on Thurs...

  • Jory Vinikour kick off 6th season for Salon/Sanctuary series / New York Classical Review
    Posted At: October 12, 2014 12:00 AM

    This year's sesquicentennial of the death of Baroque polymath Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764) might not be as sexy as the Richard Strauss centenary, but it is every bit as important to note. Without Rameau's Gallic contributions to opera, pedagogy and music theory at large (harmony, especially), there would be no Gluck or C.P.E. Bach. What better way, then, to mark Rameau's passing 250 years ago than wi...
