An Exceptional Album from Federica Bianchi
This is a truly exceptional album – the music is glorious, the performance riveting, and the sound quality superb!
Federica Bianchi performs music written for keyboards from the early 15th century to the early years of the Baroque on three instruments built after historical models – a clavicymbalum after an early 15th century instrument and two harpsichords after Italian models from the 16th and 17th centuries. Some of the earliest works on the album are from the Codex Faenza (c. 1400-1420), others are arrangements from the Renaissance, and some beauties are from the late 16th/early 17th centuries.
