Topic: PIANOTEQ, G.Giusti harpsichord, Christian Erbach: „Toccata primi toni”

This piece dates back to around the beginning of the 17th century and can be played on both the organ and the harpsichord.
For me, in the case of this composition, the piece is more expressive performed on the harpsichord than on the organ.
This isn't always the case, but in this case it is.

Wow, Piotr a piece not often heard here around !!!
How beautiful! I don't know much about this composer, but his style seems to me to blend the polyphonic rigor of Palestrina and the freedom of Frescobaldi....
Truly beautiful!
