Our Take

Upon first glance, the combination of Scarlatti and Ligeti on a harpsichord album may seem like an unlikely pairing - like putting mustard on your cornflakes or wearing socks with sandals. But fear not, dear readers, for JUSTIN TAYLOR's "Continuum" effortlessly blends these two musical titans into a harmonious and mesmerising symphony of sound.

Taylor's virtuosity on the harpsichord is nothing short of jaw-dropping. His fingers dance across the keys with an agility that would make even the most seasoned pianist green with envy. From the intricate melodies of Scarlatti to the avant-garde stylings of Ligeti, Taylor navigates the diverse landscapes of these composers with grace and finesse.

The album kicks off with Scarlatti's Sonata in G Major, a playful and sprightly piece that sets the tone for what's to come. Taylor's interpretation brings a fresh perspective to this Baroque gem, breathing new life into its familiar melodies.

But it's Ligeti's "Continuum" that truly steals the show. This minimalist masterpiece is a tour de force of rhythmic complexity and sonic exploration. Taylor's performance is nothing short of mesmerising, drawing the listener in with each hypnotic note.

In conclusion, "Continuum" is a triumph of musical ingenuity and artistic vision. JUSTIN TAYLOR has crafted a truly unique and captivating album that will delight fans of both Scarlatti and Ligeti alike. So put on your fanciest wig, pour yourself a glass of sherry, and get ready to be transported to a world of musical wonder.
