Landowska - Wanda Landowska plays Bach, Mozart, Handel, Scarlatti, Rameau

The recordings range from Jacques Champion de Cham bonnieres to Henry PurceII and Francois Couperin, from Domenico Scarlatti and George Frideric Handel (both born in 1685 like J.S. Bach) to Bach himself, while the Classical composers Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart round off the programme. The Bach works include his Goldberg Variations (the Paris performance of 1933) and the 48, the whole of the Well-Tempered Clavier, recorded in New York and Lakeville between 1949 and 1954. On CD 10, finally, the pianist Wanda Landowska plays the pianoforte.
