Muffat: Componimenti musicali per il cembalo (Musical Compositions for the Harpsichord) [Double Album]

For her first solo album on Linn – Musical Compositions for the Harpsichord – Alexandra Nepomnyashchaya has taken the bold route of recording the little-known Gottlieb Muffat.

This Double Album is Exclusively Available at NativeDSD in Stereo DSD 256, DSD 128, DSD 64 and DXD.

Son of Georg Muffat, who most Baroque aficionados will know, Gottlieb attained far greater success in his working life, ultimately being promoted to first organist of the Austrian Habsburg court. In this double album

Alexandra has recorded the lavish Componimenti musicali per il cembalo , a collection of seven ‘suites’ that are rich in texture, emotional range and flamboyant decoration. Carefully notated in the magnificent score, the breathtaking ornamentation is there to add expressiveness to the performance.

These works represent one of the pinnacles of keyboard music from the mid-eighteenth century, and deserve their place in the repertoire.
