Dale Carr | Toccata #7 in d by Girolamo Frescobaldi, from his first book of toccatas, performed by Dale Carr @dalecarr6361 | Uploaded December 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Toccata settima in d by Girolamo Frescobaldi {1583-1643}, from his first book of toccatas {&c.}, performed by Dale Carr in the Pelstergasthuiskerk in Groningen on 2 October, 1993, on a harpsichord built in 1975 by Hendrik Broekman of Lebanon, NH, with chinoiserie and soundboard painting by Sheridan Germann.
Frescobaldi's title page gives the date M·D·C·XXXVII aka 1637. This was the second edition, the first having been published 10 years earlier. The frontispice has a portrait of the composer "æt. svæ 56", though it would be easy to mistake the 5 for an 8 in the copy shown here. In this second edition Frescobaldi provided extensive instructions for the player striving to achieve the proper cantabile expression.
The recording was made by Frans Driesens.
