BEYOND THE RIVER GOD
ASSI KARTTUNEN (harpsichord)
Divine Art Records
Graham Lynch: De Profundis (Petenera-series)
A selection of works by the greatest harpsichord composer of all - François Couperin, and from contemporary British composer Graham Lynch, who is a very worthy successor with music that is expressive, descriptive, deep and exceptionally rich, showing that the harpsichord is capable of real expression.
The Lynch pieces are receiving their first recordings. Established virtuoso Assi Karttunen is from FInland and this is her first album for Divine Art, and a showcase for her amazing talent at the keyboard.
