¡Richardson: Works For Harpsichord
¡Glen Wilson (Harpsichord)
Description
[Machine Translation] Ferdinand Richardson ( 1558-1618 ) was one of the most notable figures in the history of English music, and in 1575 the first important collection of "religious music ever published in England" appeared, which sold very well. The collection, entitled "Cantiones Sacrae," included works by Thomas Tallis and William Byrd and, coupled with its beautiful binding, is said to have been extremely popular. Richardson, a young nobleman, was involved in the compilation of this collection. He was a pupil of Tallis and an accomplished performer and composer. He was also very influential at the court of Elizabeth I, where many of the composer's works survived. Of course, his own works here are also quite fine, and his own works were even included in the famous "Fitzwilliam Virginal Book". Here you can also enjoy some of his arrangements of his contemporaries.
