96774

Jean-Jacques Beauvarlet-Charpentier (1734-1794), succeeded his father, an organist and organ builder, at the organ of the Hospice de la Charité in Lyons, where the family had lived since 1748. In 1771 he obtained the organ of the royal abbey of St Victor in Paris and performed the same year at the Concert Spirituel. In 1772, he succeeded Louis-Claude Daquin at the St Paul church, he added a post at St Éloi des Orfèvres in 1777 and a term at Notre-Dame in 1783.

Jean-Jacques Beauvarlet-Charpentier published the first Livre de Pièces de Clavecin around 1770. This collection of Pièces is particularly exemplary of a gallant style revised by the French, but perhaps it is more correct to speak of pre-classicism, while a characteristic feature of this music is the use of textures and progressions typical of orchestral writing.

Played on a French harpsichord after Blanchet (1754) built by C. Caponi (1985) by Fernando De Luca, one of Italy’s foremost harpsichord players. He recorded to great critical acclaim the complete keyboard works by Graupner, Jollage, Dufour, Foucquet and Moyreau, published by Brilliant Classics. His recording of works by Jollage received 5 stars in the French Diapason.
