Info for Thomas Roseingrave: Eight Harpsichord Suites and other keyboard works

Auf ihrem dritten Solo-Cembalo-Album bei Signum Classics spielt die Barockspezialistin Bridget Cunningham anlässlich des St. Patrick's Day eine Reihe von Werken des irischen Komponisten Thomas Roseingrave. Obwohl Roseingrave bisher übersehen wurde, ist er einer der interessantesten und originellsten Komponisten von Musik für Tasteninstrumente im Großbritannien des achtzehnten Jahrhunderts. Cunningham, die mit ihm ein anglo-irisches Erbe teilt, hat die Fähigkeit, dieser komplexen, aber wunderschönen Musik Leben, Luft und Raum einzuhauchen.
