Filippos Manoloudis Performs Les Grâces by Jacques Duphly

Greek classical guitarist Filippos Manoloudis performs Les Grâces by French harpsichordist and composer Jacques Duphly (1715–1789) from his Troisième livre de pièces de clavecin (Third Book of Harpsichord Pieces), published in Paris in 1756. This comes via Guitar Salon International and their YouTube channel (go subscribe). Wonderful performance with a excellent ornamentation that is well paced and thoughtfully executed. I’m so impressed with his adaptation and interpretive style of the harpsichord using modern guitar technique. Very expressive and delicately ornate.
