With Chambonnieres, we clearly see the genesis of this music in lute writing. Chords are nearly always given as arpeggios and the music still retains a lyrical & poetic quality which is unusual for Baroque keyboard music.

The present recordings includes a broad selection of Chambonnieres' best music, as well as some préludes improvised by Sempé.
