Fantasia in C minor, BWV 906 [5:31]

Richard Lester (Harpsichord)
Main instrument: a double manual harpsichord built in 2011 by Colin Booth, is derived from a single manual instrument by the Hamburg builder, Johann Christoph Fleischer and is dated 1710. The original is housed in the Musikinstrumenten-Museum in Berlin. There are two eight-foot registers strung in iron and red brass, a four-foot stop and a harp or buff stop. The temperament is Richard Lester's own modification of Neidhardt and the pitch is 415hz.
The instrument used for Toccata No. 3 in D major, BWV 912, also by Colin Booth, is a copy of a 17th century single manual Italian harpsichord with two eight foot registers. Pitch A=440hz, tuned to Werkmeister III.
