Eva del Campo (harpsichord)About
It is within this rococo-galant context, which marked the final glory days of the harpsichord, that we encounter the music of Jean-Baptiste Parant, a composer for whom only scant biographical details are known. Parant’s Premier Livre de Pièces de Clavecin, published in 1762, contains 16 pieces written in the light and carefree rococo style, which makes them a true reflection of the music that would have been heard at this time in the salons of aristocrats and patrons such as the Prince de Conti and Monsieur de La Pouplinière or at the literary salons of Madame du Deffand, Julie Lespinasse and Madame Geoffrin.The titles of the pieces allude to persons from Parant’s circle, such as La Angôt and De la Bauve, or to places such as Passy (most probably a reference to the Château de Passy, the residence of the aforementioned important and very wealthy musical patron Alexandre de La Pouplinière) and Lyons (‘La Lionoise’). His sources of inspiration are also to be seen in such evocative titles as ‘Les Cascades’, ‘La Majestueuse’ or ‘La Pétulante’. Running throughout his music are the dances most commonly to be found in French suites, such as the menuet, rondeau, allemande, gavotte and lourée.
Eva del Campo received her musical education in Spain and France. She was the winner of the VIII International Early Music Competition of Gijón 2018 and subsequently she worked with specialists in the Early Music such as Enrico Onofri, Christophe Coin, Ottavio Dantone, Alfredo Bernardini, Paul Goodwin and Gilles Colliard.
