Jean Rondeau, fortepiano – Gradus ad Parnassum

Extraordinary harpsichordist Jean Rondeau forgoes his usual instrument for the fortepiano in a program of works by great 18th-century Viennese composers, supplemented by a few etudes from Muzio Clementi’s pedagogical collection Gradus ad Parnassum.

Described as “one of the most natural performers one is likely to hear on a classical music stage” by the Washington Post, Jean Rondeau is a veritable global ambassador for his instrument. His outstanding talent and innovative approach to keyboard repertoire have been critically acclaimed, marking him out as one of today’s leading harpsichordists.
