Released on August 19, 2002, under the Globe label, this classical masterpiece spans a concise yet captivating 57 minutes.

The first concerto in F Minor opens with an "Allegretto" that sets a contemplative mood, followed by an "Andante e grazioso con sordini" that showcases the harpsichord's grace. The lively "Allegro" finale brings the first concerto to a spirited close. The second concerto in G Major begins with a vibrant "Allegro," transitioning into a serene "Poco adagio con sordini" before culminating in another energetic "Allegro." The final concerto in F Minor starts with an "Allegro di molto," followed by a poignant "Andante," and concludes with a breathtaking "Prestissimo."
