Alina Rotaru Does It Again

[Praetorius]

Alina Rotaru has issued her second CD, Froberger: Suites & Toccatas, Carpe
Diem CD-16290. Fans of Froberger's keyboard music (and that's pretty much
all he wrote, at least as far as what has survived) or of masterful
harpsichord playing should enjoy this disc immensely. I have posted a fairly
detailed review at the Amazon page for the CD:
