Liuwe Tamminga - Frescobaldi: Capricci (2022)

Recorded in Bologna in 2011, the recording is composed of the complete Libro 1 of Capricci by Girolamo frescobaldi, some masterworks of the Italian repertory for organ from the 17th century. In these twelve very contrasted Capricci, Liuwe Tamminga played three different organs of the impressive San Petronio church in Bologna. Many colours and a very light playing.

Liuwe Tamminga is considered one of the major specialists of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Italian repertoires for organ. He is the organist of the historic organs at the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna together with Luigi Ferdinando Tagliavini. He has made several recordings, among them the complete works of Marc’Antonio Cavazzoni (Diapason d’Or, Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik 2005, Goldberg 5 stars); the complete Fantasies of Frescobaldi (best recording of Amadeus and Diapason 5 stars); Mozart in Italia (Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik and Diapason 5 stars). He regularly played with the Concerto Palatino and Odhecaton. Tamminga has also edited keyboard music by Giovanni de Macque, Giulio Segni, Palestrina, Jacques Buus, and music for two organs. He performed all over Europe, in the U.S.A, and in Japan. Tamminga has passed away on April 29, 2021.
