The new album by French harpsichordist Jean Rondeau takes us to the summit of the Muses, the mythological Mount Parnassus. Under the title “Gradus ad Parnassum”, the early music star, who is as passionate as he is extravagant, presents original works and works he has arranged himself for his instrument, from the Renaissance master Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina to the classics Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven to the dawn of modernism in the early 20th century – true to his attitude: “I don’t want to limit myself to just one repertoire or one era of music history
