Hi All,
Another complete set of recordings are online in saladelcembalo.org.
They are the 30 Voluntaries composed by John Stanley (1712-1786),
organist in St Andrew, Holborn; music published "for Organ or
Harpsichord" as Op.5 (1748, nos.1-10), Op.6 (1752, nos.11-20) and Op.7
(1754, nos.21-30).
Maybe I'm wrong but I suspect it's the first public recording of this
great music entirely performed on the Harpsichord, instead of the Organ
(more usual for Stanley). Surprisingly, it seems very appropriate for
that instrument, especially the first two set of books that are rich of
contrapuntal motion that sounds great on the harpsichord I think. As
always, many thanks to the maestro, harpsichordist, Fernando De Luca.
Cheers
