Tom Vernier on the Rameau disc, in a CD Review: "This is a delightfully delicious recording of an exquisite instrument played by an artist of uncommon intelligence and conviction... Fuller takes us inside the tunes and the dance steps to the sensitive and trembling inner core. It's an experience that will bear many profitable repetitions."

For the past thirty years, Albert Fuller has been centrally involved in the original-instrument movement. Whether as solo harpsichordist, chamber musician, conductor, lecturer, or as teacher at the Juilliard School and Yale, his influence on American perceptions of 17th-century and 18th-century music has been profound. These recordings are the fruit of Fuller's most recent thinking and research about the keyboard works of these two giants of the Baroque. The Bach program was performed on a newly commissioned instrument by Barbara and Thomas Wolfe, which Fuller believes represents the closest possible modern replication of the style of harpsichords known by Bach.

Recorded intimately, but with concert-hall spaciousness by "Prof." Keith Johnson, these recordings have the rightful reputation of being among the most realistic ever made of this complex, elusive instrument.
