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.
