composed by Johann Mattheson, 1681-1764; performed by Colin Booth, fl. 1980 (Colin Booth, 2011), 1 hour 16 mins
Johann Mattheson was a highly successful German contemporary of Bach, Telemann,

great north-German cultural centres, and through marriage and employment also
established a strong link with England. Mattheson and Handel actually worked

opera-house. A famous story recounted by Mattheson concerns a duel which the two
rivals fought, which almost ended in Handel's premature death.
Johann Mattheson was a considerable composer, and we can tell that a number of his ideas were "borrowed" by Handel for his own music. Much of Mattheson's output perished in the bombing of Hamburg during World War II, but the exciting suites, here receiving their world premiere complete recording, survived, as they were published in 1714, both in Hamburg and London.

composers of the past: although some printed editions of his works and various
recordings are available on the market today, his music is still not much known
to the large public. Francesca Torelli selected some songs for voice and lute
she sings while accompanying herself on the instrument, as well as a number of
pieces for solo lute. Among the latter, some are free-form pieces (e.g. the
Praeludium and the Fancy), others were composed on ballad tunes (e.g. Fortune
and What if a day), and some others in dance form (e.g. the Galliards and the
Pavin).

Description
This amazing harpsichordist is known for shaking up the conventional rules of playing by emphasizing the instrument's expressive aspects over its formal ones. Her performances are positively brimming with charisma and passion, and her sense of timing is influenced by the American idioms of blues and jazz, so it's bold, urbane, and full of natural asymmetries that let Bach breathe.
