#ChristopherTye is less famous than his #Tudor contemporary Thomas Tallis and his documented life more chaotic, but the calibre of his Masses and polyphony are unsurpassed for colour, full-textured fabric and interwoven melodic lines. Listeners to this new release from the all-male voices of Cinquecento can be assured that it contains much to delight the ear.

https://listn.fm/frobergersuitesv4/

The 4th and final volume of the complete Harpsichord Suites by Johann Jakob Froberger – a composer of profound influence whose innovations shaped the very form of the Baroque suite later adopted by Bach and Handel.
