A must to have for any baroc music lover.
Juan Bautista Jose Cabanilles (1644 - 1712) was a composer and principal organist (from 1666) at Valencia Cathedral, Spain. In 1668 he was ordained as a priest but he kept his positon as principal organist at the Valencian cathedral for more than 40 years. Cabanilles works for organ are the culmination of previous trends in Spanish organ composition, and at the same time they open new pathways for composers who followed him. Cabanilles was the last of the Spanish mystic organists, and we can find within his works the germ of the new musical form: the Sonata. He was certainly the greatest of the Valencian composers of organ music, and together with Correa de Araujo the most important organist of the 17th Spanish Musical Century.

Joan Cabanilles: Batalles, Tientos & Passacalles is a 1998 Alia Vox recording under the direction of Jordi Savall. Savall here leads the Hesperion X. Ruivieria Nery has written the music notes which are both well-written and interesting. Truly an extraordinary recording. Highly recommended indeed. 5/5.
