Le Bret: Pieces De Cla... - Simone Pierini - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

The tenth and final installment of an exciting and substantial project: Sadly there are no biographical details known about the life of Le Bret, not even his first name is known. The only surviving music of him is the publication of his Pièces de Clavecin, published between 1730 and 1740. In the preface to this collection, the composer expresses his intentions: “I hope that the naturalness that I have tried myself to make it reign there, will please those who will play these pieces: I have always endeavoured, when composing these pieces, to adorn them with the most graceful melodies that I have ever been able to, which is the beauty of this Instrument, [in a manner] that I know from our most illustrious masters”. Clear inspiration were the works of his contemporaries François Couperin, Jean-François Dandrieu, Bernard De Bury, Philippe-François Véras and Christophe Moyreau. Played on a harpsichord by Giulio Fratini after M. Mietke, 2014, by Simone Pierini.
