Charlston - Froberger: Complete Fantasias and Canzonas

Froberger�s fantasias and canzonas are amongst his most beautifully crafted yet most neglected works. They survive together with toccatas and partitas in a meticulously written autograph manuscript, the Libro Secondo, dated 19 September 1649. This is the first recording of all 14 works on the clavichord. Froberger was a most important figure in the early baroque period, helping to develop the style of the �dance suite� so well known from the later hands of Bach, Handel and so many more.
