    Reviews:
    - BBC Music (May 2005): 5/5 Stars for Sound Quality, 4/5 Stars for Performance
    "The crisp definition of the recording faithfully transmits the unique qualities of the Goerman harpsichord […] Those who revere sophistication and sheer beauty of sound should choose Pinnock."
    - Martin Anderson – Toccata Press/Toccata Classics [www.toccatapress.com]: "It is astonishing, really astonishing: TP’s electric performances aside, the recorded sound is of an immediacy that has my ears out on stalks. […] FANTASTIC recorded sound, vivid, depth, everything you could want; genuinely ear-boggling."
    - Sunday Times (6th March 2005): 4 of 5 stars quality
    - Music Week (12th March 2005): "Trevor Pinnock scooped a Gramophone Award a few years ago for his acclaimed recording of Bach’s keyboard Partitas. His latest release of Rameau harpsichord pieces on Avie is every bit the prize winner’s equal and often its superior. […] Prepare for a flood of five-star reviews for this outstanding title."
    - RR (May 2005): "The Goermans/Taskin is a superb example of its type, rendered here in a recording of absolute clarity"

    Winner of the Gramophone Award for Baroque Instrumental 2001:
    "[...] The warm, full, rather resonant recording beautifully captures the rich sound of his fine instrument - a David Way copy from 1983 of a Hemsch original - as well as the detail of his playing. [...]"
