Johann Wilhelm Hässler was a great and famous keyboard virtuoso in the second half of the 18th century. His style forms a bridge between the Baroque and the early Classical era, a period of "Sturm und Drang", highly virtuosic in it's expression of feelings and character. In this new premiere recording, Harpsichordist Michele Benuzzi undertook thorough research into this music before he prepared the present edition.
