Although some people might think that the likes of a rediscovered piece of music, one or two mentions of the instrument picked up here and there, a rather startling meeting between the writer and the most famous harpsichordist of the day, along with a metaphor in the guise of an epitaph written by a poetess friend are fairly slender foundations on which to build a programme entitled “A harpsichord for Marcel Proust”, this recording is not about a harpsichord that Marcel Proust had at his home or that belonged to him – it is a harpsichord for Marcel Proust. It is intended as a tribute by a harpsichordist of today to the man who wrote À la Recherche du Temps Perdu and who lived during an all-too-often overlooked period in the instrument’s history.
