About this concert
Claude-Bénigne Balbastre was a pupil of Claude Rameau (brother of Jean-Philippe) in Dijon, and rose to become organist of the Notre-Dame in Paris. He later gave up the organ in order to become a more subtle harpsichordist – a mission that evidently succeeded, given the keyboard collection Pièces de Clavecin of 1759. Twenty-five years ago Ursula Dütschler released a monumental recording of works by this harpsichord teacher (of Marie Antoinette, among others) and is now returning to her old love.
