Thomas Roseingrave Eight Harpsichord Suites and other keyboard works

Her second solo harpsichord album on Signum Classics, baroque specialist Bridget Cunningham performs a host of works by the Irish composer, Thomas Roseingrave in this world premiere recording to coincide with St Patrick’s Day. Works that have largely been forgotten due to the harpsichord suites of George Frideric Handel absolutely dominating this genre, Cunningham who shares with him an Anglo-Irish heritage, has an affinity with, and an ability to breathe life, air and space into, this complex but exquisitely beautiful music.
