Harpsichordist Jean Rondeau explores dif­fer­ent aspects of the Dance of Death tra­di­tion. We hear pavanes by Tomkins and Johnson along­side an adap­ta­tion of Dowlands Lachrimae. Rondeau also plays Froberger’s tombeau for the death of lutenist Monsieur Blancrocher, Brahms’s piano tran­scrip­tion of Bach’s leg­endary vio­lin cha­conne, and Ligeti’s Passacaglia Ungherese.
