Despite the frilly album cover evoking the Biedermeier style, it is in fact the keyboard music of Henry Purcell that is presented here by Polish harpsichordist Ewa Rzetecka-Niewiadomska. Recorded in Łódź in 2017, this album is devoted to the eight suites for harpsichord that form the Choice Collection of Lessons for the harpsichord or spinet. Each of these Lessons starts with a prelude, followed by dances in a style borrowed from Italian and French composers that Purcell had discovered in the court of King Charles II, a fervent admirer of Louis XIV and the art of Frescobaldi, Froberger, Lully and Sweelinck. Ewa Rzetecka-Niewiadomska studied the harpsichord at the Academy of Music in Łódź, then at the Geneva Conservatory where she earned the title of “Maestro al Cembalo” in the class of Leonardo García Alarcón, with whom she plays for the production of John Blow’s Venus and Adonis. She also regularly works with the Capella Genevensis (Geneva) and with the Grand Theatre in Łódź. © François Hudry/Qobuz
