Girolamo Cavazzoni, one of the great masters of Italian organ playing in the Renaissance, had promoted the construction of the organ completed in 1565 by the famous organ builder Graziadio Antegnati. Cavazzoni was the organist of the Basilica until 1577. At the same time Giaches de Wert, celebrated above all for his madrigals, was the choirmaster there, a responsibility he had assumed until about 1592. Several decades later, from 1612 to 1627 and from 1628 to 1630, this post had been conferred on Amante Franzoni, whilst Ottavio Bargnani was the organist from 1610 to 1628. In 1615 the great Girolamo Frescobaldi himself also resided for a short time at the Gonzaga court. Price: $27.98 |
