Bob van Asperen Froberger: a personal selection
wed 28 aug / 11.30
In his second recital at this year’s Festival, Bob van Asperen brings together several of Froberger’s most personal compositions in a programme suffused with melancholy. We hear the Méditation sur ma mort future, composed in Paris, alongside the celebrated lamento on the death of Ferdinand IV and a programmatic musical depiction of Froberger’s perilous and near fatal crossing of the turbulent Rhine by boat. The programme would be incomplete without the superb tombeau that he dedicated to his friend the lute composer Blancrocher, who died in 1652: this is perhaps Froberger’s best known composition.

Malgosia Fiebig Rosenmüller on the carillon
Johann Rosenmüller was among the German composers who sought refuge in Italy. In doing so, he became a significant link between the musical styles of the north and south. Malgosia Fiebig plays arrangements of his sonatas and of suites from the compilation Studentenmusik (1654). 69
