Rameau Les Cyclopes (I'm sure Elains uses more than 2 hands here!)

Very enjoyable. I always enjoy hearing the harpschord being played.. only one I get to play is my electronic one on my touch sensitive digital piano:but not too bad a sound either. Thanks for posting.

If you have the time, here are two long vids

2 hours+ of Rameau transcriptions for 2 harpsichords, beware though find something else to do for the first 14 minutes before the performers appear!

Back to Scarlatti, Fandango. Picture looks like a 3 manual.
