Description:

British female harpsichordist, opera conductor, and musicologist Bridget Cunningham's third solo harpsichord album on Signum Classics features the music of the previously overlooked 18th century composer & organist Thomas Rosingslave (1690 /1-1766). An Irishman born in England, Rosingrave was one of the most interesting and original compositional figures in 18th century English keyboard music. With the same Irish roots, Cunningham shares the Irish tradition and breathes life, air, and space into this complex but supremely beautiful music. Tokyo M-Plus
