An intriguing new album by Warner Classics’ star harpsichordist featuring diverse composers: Palestrina, Fux, Beethoven, Mozart, Debussy…
Pushes beyond the boundaries of Jean’s favourite repertoire in the direction of Beethoven, guided along the way by two geniuses with considerable influence on his art: Johann Joseph Fux and Muzio Clementi
Both wrote fundamental works called Gradus ad Parnassum (literally “Ascent to Parnassus”), which are featured on this album. The first is a Viennese baroque work recommended to him by his master Joseph Haydn, the second an Italian classic which includes in its “Gradus” a series of piano studies (which are known to have affected Beethoven greatly), and the third “ad Parnassum” is Debussy’s famous “Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum” from Children's Corner.
