Description
The renowned specialist in historical keyboard instruments, Marton Borsanyi, invites the listeners on a musical journey to the 16th and 17th centuries - using two very special instruments. This album is a tribute to the friendship between collector Hartmut Raguse and the harpsichord maker Werner Iten, who passed away a few years ago. Borsanyi presents two exceptional replicas made by Werner Iten in a unique combination: a copy of a South German harpsichord and an unusually finely crafted double virginal, both from around 1620. Both instruments offer an extraordinary variety of sound possibilities. The pieces featured on this album have been carefully selected to showcase the full range of the tonal diversity of these two historical keyboard instruments - with sounds that naturally evoke lutes, but at times almost resemble flutes, as demonstrated by Borsanyi in works by John Bull, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, Samuel Scheidt, and Johann Pachelbel amongst others.
