By 1975, when Telefunken released this two-disc set, Brüggen had already made a name for himself as a hot young recorder soloist. Here he showed his abilities in musicology and ensemble-playing by offering rare and unusual repertoire and performances with some of the best musicians in northern Europe. The recording was rereleased as cassettes in 1985, from which this archive was ripped.

Giovanni Picchi: harpsichord works

Ton Koopman, harpsichord
(copy of Stephanini 17th c.)

Toccata
Ballo detto il Picchi
Ballo ongaro
Padoana ditta la Ongara
Pass’e mezzo antico de sei parti
Saltarello del ditto Pass’e mezzo
Todesca
Ballo ditto il Stefanin
Ballo alla polacha

Picchi was so influential in the development of Renaissance keyboard music that he even appears in the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book. The recording is a scant thirty minutes long but the pieces are sprightly and the playing is classic Koopman.
