Anyway.. Tabakov... It's a good'un.

Cera v Vartolo v Bonizzoni in Frescobaldi Bk 2 Toccata 1, I can't find Lester's - I have found a Toccata Prima but I don't think it's this one from Bk 2.

Cera sounds very polished and beautiful; I like Bonizzoni - the harpsichord timbre and the style - exciting playing. Vartolo's great strength is that he knows how to play the silences. The silences elevate the music into something much more poetic  than a virtuoso keyboard showpiece.

I'm especially a fan of La Stravaganza!

I never listen to this music without remembering an afternoon some time ago when I was travelling around the Venetian lagoon to the various islands (on the waterbus) with this music playing on the MP3 player; the movement of the boat, the warm wind, the islands in the distance and the sparkling light dancing on the water. Magic!

Wonderful and wonderfully apt!

Definitely will investigate further!  Thank you again for these initial pointers.

Delighted you have enjoyed. Our world of music is so very rich and varied!
