Description

"For these CDs Vartolo and Tactus dedicated a great effort for the reaching of the highest possible level both for performance and sound quality." -- Gramophone Tactus is proud to present its most ambitious project ever: Girolamo Frescobaldi's complete published works for keyboard in a 12-CD box set! This great project started when Tactus founder Serafino Rossi commissioned the first recordings in 1986. Sergio Vartolo, one of the most acclaimed specialists of the Renaissance repertoire, released the first two sets in 1989 and 1990, respectively. In 1999, he passed the baton to Roberto Loreggian and Francesco Tasini. The box includes a rich essay, in which Maestro Tasini examines the style and keyboard production of the greatest contemporary of Claudio Monteverdi. A milestone release!

I first got acquainted with Frescobaldi's music in college - the musicologist at our university was something of a Frescobaldi nut. I think he even edited the Frescobaldi edition for JAMS (ie: Journal of the American Musicological Society).Back in those days I had a Bach Guild LP called "The Art of Frescobaldi" with Gustav Leonhardt, which was recorded around 1958 (and has been released on CD by Vanguard and later, Artemis Records). I played the thing to death through college. The LP went missing from my collection, and my encounters with Frescobaldi's music became rather infrequent.In any case, this 12-CD set provides ALL of Frescoballdi's keyboard music. It's great to get reacquainted with this inventive and satisfying music once again. Granted, I'm making my way through the box slowly to better savor each disc. There hasn't been a dud yet.Recommended.
