Press reviews
‘As a former musical assistant to William Christie and Les Arts Florissants, Weiss knows very well how to translate the varied gestures and kinetic energy of Rameau's beguiling dances from the orchestra pit to the manuels of a harpsichord. His playing, refined in its technique and communicative in its inflections, pulsates with life… an exhilarating recital, with a recording that faithfully captures the character of two fine instruments by Goujon (c1740) and Hemsch (1761).’
Nicholas Anderson, BBC Music Magazine

‘Jean-Philippe Rameau sparkles under Kenneth Weiss's fingers. The transcriptions of the genius of Dijon's opera and ballet pieces are a pure sensual pleasure.’
Le Figaro
