{"product_id":"french-suites-10","title":"French Suites","description":"The soundboard is painted with flowers, fruits, and animals and decorated with a typical light-blue ornamental border. Around the soundboard, the walls are adorned with block-printed wallpaper. The lid contains a landscape painting, which was added later, an idyllic stream landscape with four staffage figures: The observer watches a boy gazing intently into the water, a young woman carrying provisions or something similar home, and a couple, who are also only visible from behind. A bridge and a mill enliven the rural scene. If the corresponding technical terms \"soundboard,\" \"ornamental border,\" or \"lid\" were missing, the reader would hardly associate this vivid, florid description with a keyboard instrument. In such a manner, the renowned harpsichordist and expert in historical performance practice and basso continuo, Wolfgang Brunner, describes the instrument dated 1628 by Andreas Ruckers, from the Flemish harpsichord-making dynasty of the Ruckers family, which is heard on this recording featuring the six French Suites by J. S. Bach.","brand":"Gramola Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":52040023245080,"sku":"9003643993761","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4507210-3562952.jpg?v=1778244741","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/french-suites-10","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
