Episode five of the Lyrichord Early and Classical Show podcast - Why do those harpsichords sound so different than they used to? Nick and Jeffrey discuss the unusual path that revival harpsichords took in the early 20th century, propelled by techniques of mass production as well as the enormous popularizing of the instrument by harpsichordist Wanda Landowska. Performances on revival instruments and compared to performances on historically authentic instruments in favor today. Landowska protégé, harpsichordist Paul Wolfe's performances on two different revival instruments highlight this episode.
