Notes & Reviews:

Works chosen for this Treasury of English Keyboard Music range from the 16th century through to the early 19th century, and the program reflects the broad range of musical styles employed. The harpsichord recordings were made in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, on two historic instruments, while the organ (which contains much 17th-century pipework) is that of St. Michael's Church, Framlingham, Suffolk.
