Sonate per gravicembalo

'Roberto Loreggian's playing is admirable, with a subtle sense of rhythm and an ability to project the most intricate part-writing. In the long ricercar, he reels off the virtuoso figuration with complete ease. Keyboard enthusiasts will find this a rewarding release.'
Early Music Review

'The excellent Roberto Lorregian brings an attractive improvisatory quality to his playing, starting some pieces with a flourish of his own and employing rubato here and there.'
Gramophone

'Not only does Lorregian adroitly nuance his articulation, phrasing and tempo shifts, but he switches from harpsichord to spinet, and changes stops on the harpsichord to vivify the brilliance hidden in Pasquini's score. The result charms and teases…'
BBC Music Magazine

'The sound quality is first-rate, with Lorregian's Italian harpsichord and spinet comfortably set back in an attractive spacious drawing-room acoustic. Alessandro Borin's extended booklet notes are also a real bonus, despite some rather Italian musicologist-style obscurity of expression.'
International Record Review

Bernardo Pasquini was organist of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome and harpsichordist of the opera orchestra in which Corelli was the first violinist. He was a virtuoso keyboardist, his pupils including Gasparini and Domenico Scarlatti.

This period-instrument recording offers the listener a rare chance to hear these works as they were originally intended.

Roberto Loreggian's recent disc of harpsichord works by Marcello was enthusiastically received.
