BUZZ ALERT<br />
Selections from Renaissance and Baroque keyboard works, plus secular cantatas of J.S. Bach with Leonhardt conducting<br />
Alpha pays homage to Gustav Leonhardt in a lavish box set comprising <strong>the</strong> last five recordings made by this great pioneer. The set also<br />
includes tributes from musicians and collaborators such as Philippe Herreweghe, Elisabeth Joyé, and Gilles Cantagrel, and <strong>the</strong> booklet<br />
presents a gallery of unpublished photographs.<br />
These recordings take us on a fabulous journey into <strong>the</strong> world of keyboard works from late Renaissance to late Baroque, and explore a<br />
fascinating diversity of instruments (harpsichords, <strong>the</strong> hybrid claviorganum, and <strong>the</strong> extraordinary Dom Bedosorganof Sainte-Croix in<br />
Bordeaux). The last one, for which Leonhardt was artistic director and organist, is his final recording; it is devoted to secular cantatas by<br />
J. S. Bach, performed by <strong>the</strong> ensemble Café Zimmermann.<br />
