Musica Dulce Presents "Wine for the Soul " CD

Wine for the Soul features harpsichord music of Bach and Handel as well as that of Froberger, the preeminent 17th century German composer whose music influenced both Bach & Handel in their youth. 

Here Nancy Metzger shows off the baroque improvisatory style in the Bach Chromatic Fantasy, the Handel Prelude from the A Major Suite, and the Froberger Toccata II.  The popular 3 movement, G Major Toccata of Bach, the Froberger Suite XX in D and a seldom heard Handel Overture from Amadigi round out the disc.

Review:

"Upon listening to Wine for the Soul... you will enter an enchanting world of the Baroque era...Ms. Metzger produces richness of sound, communicates mastery of style, and demonstrates personal conviction...This is ravishing music performed by a compelling harpsichordist."

- Sherry Kloss, The Triangle, magazine of Mu Phi Epsilon, International Music Fraternity.

“Nice variety of music and a thoughtful program. The harpsichord is very ‘present,’ but clear and strong, which is the nature of this instrument.  A success! Congratulations!”  - Byron Will, instrument maker.
