Richard Egarr (harpsichord)About
“High octane, muscular, a rush of blood to the head... Moments of calm between the storm ... were suddenly stark, raw and searching. … I was gripped by the energy of it all, by the urgency of the ornamentation, by the aching crunches in the Allemandes.” - Herald Scotland, concert review
Reviews
[Egarr] digs into his harpsichord, a huge-sounding modern Dutch instrument, and produces dark, nutty tones with chunky middle voices and gnarly chordal textures. He adds embellishments all over the place and his rhythms are spiky and erratic. The playing is not dainty and it’s not polite, with bullish gigues and a loure in the Fifth Suite that sounds downright petulant, but that makes the warmth and lyricism of the allemandes and sarabandes doubly affecting when they come.
