Gottlieb Muffat was the most important Viennese harpsichord composer of the 18th century. He inherited and developed a compound style that fused high Italian Baroque with the lightness of the French school. From his father, Georg - one of the greatest organ and orchestral composers of his own generation - Gottlieb absorbed a gift for ballet movements. This is the third and final volume in Naoko Akutagawa's critically acclaimed series of Muffat's Harpsichord Suites.

Bernardo Storace' Selva di varie compositioni, published in Venice in 1664, is one of the greatest outpourings of sheer inventiveness in music history. The two passacaglias on this fascinating disc contain no fewer than 320 variations.

Acontemporary of J.S. Bach and Telemann, Johann Christoph Graupner was held in great esteem during his lifetime both as a prolific composer of large vocal and orchestral works and virtuoso harpsichordist, although he is now largely forgotten.
