5.0 out of 5 stars
powerful, bold and poignant, a brilliant performance, December 31, 2008
This review is from: Harpsichord Music of Frescobalidi (Audio CD)
Mr. Tilney has captured the spirit of Frescobaldi and the Italian Baroque era in this thuderstorm of a performance which demonstrates unfaltering command of his antique harpsichord. The music itself is a selection of Frescobaldi's most profound work, and represents the intense rush of creative intelligence and elevation that filled the transition between the Renaissance and Baroque era. Majestic, stately, and filled with stern, potent, thematic melodic progression, it goes beyond a performance. It's as if the hands of Frescobali himself were striking the notes from above as they fall around you in a shower of raindrops and lighning.
