With this double album, the world premiere recording of Marco Enrico Bossi's complete organ works, undertaken by Andrea Macinanti over 10 years ago, finally comes to an end. Same as the whole complete opera, this dutiful tribute to one of the great and forgotten composers of Italian twentieth century organ music ends on a series of historical instruments that fully document the musical aesthetics of the great organist. The repertoire includes transcriptions of famous pieces by great authors of the nineteenth-century, vocal and instrumental pieces with the original accompaniment of the organ, and some interesting unfinished organ fragments completed for the occasion by Maestro Paolo Geminani.

The manuscript Ms XIV 8751 H.1 came to the Library of the Civico Istituto Musicale Gaetano Donizetti in 1916. It consists of 92 pages entirely in the hand of William Babell, who was Handel's principal copyist from c.1711 until his death in 1723. While none of the movements in this volume is attributed to any composer, internal evidence indicates that most, if not all of the music, was composed by or adapted from George Frideric Handel. If so, this volume represents the most important addition to the corpus of Handel's keyboard works since the publication of the Aylesford manuscripts in 1928.
