    Frescobaldi holds an easy pre-eminence among Italian keyboard composers of the


    period. He was able to combine the disparate styles of Northern & Southern Italy
    into a unified idiom. To this he added a formal invigoration based upon new
    rhythmic & harmonic ideas.
    Even though there was a great deal of keyboard music composed in Italy prior to
    Frescobaldi, he is often taken as the beginning of an era, for he was the first to
    have a large influence throughout Europe. Although criticized for his poor literary
    training, no one was able to criticize his keyboard virtuosity.
    The present performance includes a broad range of Frescobaldi's work, including the
    less-known Fantasias (showing a Renaissance idiom). His toccatas & capriccios are
    generally his best-known works.
