This release presents the complete works of two Italian Renaissance composers, Marco Cavazzoni and Andrea Antico, the first printed keyboard music in history.

The works are a collection of Ricercars and transcriptions of sacred Motets and secular Chansons. Italian Early Music specialist Fabio Antonio Falcone plays on three different instruments: an anonymous early 17th century organ, a harpsichord after Trasuntino (1531) and a polygonal virginal after Domenico da Pesaro (ca. 1550).

Falcone already recorded a much acclaimed CD for Brilliant Classics: keyboard music by Giovanni de Macque (BC94998).

A fascinating document of the early keyboard art!
