Description:

A Rare Concerto by Schaffrath, a Prodigy on Par with C.P.E. BachA rare collection of harpsichord concertos by Christoph Schaffrath (17091763), a leading composer of the 18th-century Berlin School. Active at the court of Frederick the Great and known as a harpsichordist on par with C.P.E. Bach, Schaffrath created a unique musical world that fused late Baroque counterpoint with the rich expressiveness of the Empfindungsstil (Sentimental Style). Renowned Polish harpsichordist Anna Filrus performs alongside the masterful early music ensemble {oh!} Orkestra, vividly bringing to life three concertos brimming with elegance and dramatic emotional expression. In particular, the Concerto in A minor is an unpublished work edited by Anna Filrus based on a manuscript in the collection of the Berlin State Library. This highly acclaimed recording brings this little-known 18th-century masterpiece back to life f
