Description: Another new recording from Heritage features two of the baroque instruments the English had most to do with reviving in the 20th century, not only in the performance of their original repertoire but also in creating new music for them. The clavichord is a remarkably good instrument for the many jazz and blues-inspired pieces by Dickinson since, if you're not paying close attention, you can think you're listening to a guitar. Peter Dickinson (clavichord).
