Intégrale de l’œuvre pour clavecin et orgue

Description

A native of Stuttgart, Johann Jakob Froberger is one of the most influential composers of the early German Baroque. A great traveler, he roams across Europe, drawing numerous influences to nourish and enrich his own style. The most cosmopolitan musician of the Baroque period, he is in direct contact with all the musical circles of his time and directly confronts the most important national traditions, with the exception of Spain. Although his work includes a significant body of vocal music, he is best known for the richness of his keyboard music: the organ, and especially the harpsichord. With his free, whimsical style and great expressiveness, he is considered the instigator of the Baroque dance suite in its current form. An artist of great sensitivity, he invents program music, with many initial pieces of his suites evoking in their writing or title his personal life and emotional states. Acclaimed by international critics for his remarkable recordings of Buxtehude and Reincken, Italian organist Simone Stella continues through this box set his exploration of composers preceding Bach. He proves to be the perfect guide to this dense and generous music.
