Johann Jakob Froberger was one of the best known musicians
in his time and his music had a great impact on the next generations of
composers, especially on Bach and Handel. Here we have a splendid
creation by the harpsichordist Wladyslaw Klosiewicz. The album is
exceptional in that the temperament of the performer matches perfectly
the unique qualities of Froberger's music.
