Gustav Leonhardt plays Harpsichord Works by Bach, Bull, Byrd, Gibbons, Hassler, Pachelbel, Ritter and Strogers

Leonhardt uses all the permutations of a hybrid ‘claviorganum’ (harpsichord and pipe organ) and a later Baroque harpsichord in this colourful historical display. The sustaining organ in unison with the short-lived harpsichord is striking.
