The album features two world premiere recordings: Jean Françaix's Deux Pièces pour clavecin and Louis Durey's Dix Inventions.
Louis Durey's Dix Inventions is a homage to Bach's Two-Part Inventions, but its compositional technique is rooted in the modern era.
Wanda Landowska, a great virtuoso, was a pioneer in the 20th-century revival of interest in the harpsichord.
The harpsichord used in this recording is a 1930s Pleyel harpsichord, a type developed with the assistance of virtuoso Wanda Landowska.
This recording was made possible by a grant from the Thomas J. and Gerd Perkins Foundation.
