French composer Jean Philippe Rameau (1683-1764) was the greatest composer of his day in France, and his Pieces de Clavecin translate beautifully to the concert accordion, tuned here by builder Leo Niemi to A435, “and incrementally graduated to arrive at A440 on the first note of the second octave, where it remains through subsequent octaves”, according to the notes. This is a full-bodied accordion sound, which engineer Clive Allen has captured completely in all it richness of tone and timbral colour. The recording was made in St. Patrick’s Church in Kinkora, Ontario Canada.
