The fourth and final volume in Gilbert Rowland’s acclaimed Froberger series completes the landmark recording project on specialist early music label Athene. This double album is the latest instalment of Rowland’s authoritative traversal of the complete Harpsichord Suites by Johann Jakob Froberger – a composer of profound influence whose innovations shaped the very form of the Baroque suite later adopted by Bach and Handel.
Praised for its “glorious sound” and “energy and a good forward drive”, the series has garnered widespread critical recognition. Recorded in the sympathetic acoustic of Holy Trinity Church, Weston, in October 2024, the album reunites Rowland with engineer John Taylor, whose audiophile-standard production has underpinned the previous volumes.
Rowland’s playing combines historical insight with expressive vitality, delivering performances marked by “impeccable clarity, flawless articulation, and period-perfect embellishments”. His interpretations illuminate the elegance and inventiveness of Froberger’s writing, making this collection an essential reference for enthusiasts and scholars of early keyboard music.
This release is a vital addition for fans of Froberger, Bach, Handel, Scarlatti, and historically informed performances, offering both continuity for collectors and a compelling entry point into one of the Baroque’s most fascinating keyboard oeuvres.
