JOHANN MATTHESON (1681-1764): 12 Suites for Harpsichord.

Description: A contemporary and friend of Handel, much of Mattheson’s music was lost in the bombing of Hamburg in World War II but his English publications survive, like this set of suites dating from London in 1714. In the French suite form, they show a distinctive style with both French and German /Handelian influences. 3 CDs. Gilbert Rowland (harpsichord).
