About

Harpsichordist Nicolau de Figueiredo plays 8 Sonatas by Antonio Soler (1729-83).

Soler was an Augustian monk and the debate clearly splits musicologists as to whether or not Soler was a great composer or a minor Spanish composer of the 18th century. Many people have said that an ordained monk could not possibly write such cheerful music!

This is a beautiful programme of music played by Nicolau de Figueiredo on an instrument built by Emile Jobin after Cresci, Livorno, 1778.
