Thomas Roseingrave: Eight Harpsichord Suites and Other Keyboard Works

Bridget Cunningham (harpsichord)

Her third solo harpsichord album on Signum Classics, baroque specialist Bridget Cunningham performs a host of works by the Anglo - Irish composer, Thomas Roseingrave in this world premiere recording to coincide with St Patrick’s Day. Although Roseingrave has been previously overlooked, he is one of the most interesting and original composers of keyboard music in eighteenth-century Britain. Cunningham who shares with him an Anglo-Irish heritage, has an ability to breathe life, air and space into this complex but exquisitely beautiful music.

Any one of these suites could be happily added to a programme of Handel’s keyboard works without any embarrassment to the lesser-known and unfortunately neglected Roseingrave.
