Another World Premiere Recording has been published on our non-profit
website (saladelcembalo.org), developed by highly-skilled volunteers
from the musical, academical world and more..

This is the Second Book for the keyboard by John Sheeles, English
composer, that has been recorded by Fernando De Luca. The music is not
available yet commercially (Amazon etc.). but totally in streaming as
always - see the page below.

Last but not least: As we didn't find much biographical information
about J. Sheeles (few notes in our website are in Italian..) we invite
anyone who wants to help to complete the page to contact us...
