Description
Another discovery unearthed by Brilliant Classics, and another name to add to the library of French-Baroque masters, from the voraciously inquisitive mind and virtuoso hands of Fernando de Luca. Who was Hubert Renotte (1704-1745)? He was born and died in the Belgian city of Li\u89E5, and for the last decade of his life served as the titular organist of the cathedral there. Accordingly, he wrote a good deal of church music, which remains as overlooked as his output for keyboard. This in itself encompasses not only organ music, but the distinctively Franco-Italian style of the harpsichord pieces presented for the first time on record in the present album. Performed on a beautifully crafted French harpsichord--after Blanchet (1754) and built by Claudio Capone in 1985--this recording features the elegant touch of Fernando De Luca.
