On this recording
The three CDs contain a selection of the 100 music videos published on my YouTube channel between 1 February 2014 and 1 November 2016. In order to celebrate this event, viewers suggested to produce a selection of the recordings on CD. It was the audience who made that selection, leading to 3 CDs, each bundled around a certain period.
​
It is an a-typical production in the sense that the sound of the recordings reflect the many microphone setups and equipment I used at the beginning of my channel. In the case of Beethoven's pathetique even the room was another one.
Even though my style of playing developed quite a lot since then, the quality of recordings definitely is higher in recent productions with a much more 'studio' sound, the listener might appreciate in this selection an overview of a vaste period of music, all played on an instrument it either was written for, or perfectly possible.
In a way, this production is celebrating for sure the clavichord!
