The vast group of works by Luigi De Grassi comprises masses, psalms, motets, chants, etc, either accompanied by the organ or a cappella, for all kinds of vocal ensembles and clearly aimed to be sung during religious ceremonies. A great number of compositions for solo organ also testify his work as organist.

The Sonatas recorded on this CD are some of the most interesting and ambitious creations for organ by this master composer from Grado. The six Sonatas are quite similar, in their style and way of writing, to the parts for organ of De Grassi’s compositions for vocal ensembles.
