It could argued that there never was such a thing as a "harpsichord concert." Recitals for the masses probably didn't happen. Rather, the harpsichord (and most solo instruments, other than the organ) was an instrument of the salon. There is no doubt that the best way to hear the harpsichord is in a salon environment.SDEMS board members Laurent Planchon and Kemer Thomson have been producing solo harpsichord events for several years now, most frequently in a wonderful private home already filled with antique instruments. The last concert for this season will return to that favored venue, with the return of French harpsichordist Laurent Stewart.
Noted for his fiery, sensitive and passionate interpretations of music of the Grand Siècle, acclaimed French harpsichordist Laurent Stewart returns to San Diego to conclude the season with a recital of pieces by the great 'musicians to the King' Louis XIV Jean-Henry D’Anglebert, Louis Marchand and Antoine Forqueray and rarely heard Rameau’s ‘pieces de clavecin en concert’.
