The organ music of Joan (or Juan) Cabanilles (1644–1712) is virtuosic and colourfully Baroque, andtouched with a distinctively Spanish intensity.

Cabanilles is claimed as the most prolific of all composers for the organ, and publication of his works,begun in 1927, has not caught up with his output

The surviving manuscripts can be seriously corrupt, requiring extensive editing and sometimes evendetailed recomposition. This recording therefore uses a number of new editions to present the music asnever heard before, as close as possible to what the composer might have intended.

From the press reaction to Vol. 1 of this series: ‘I simply had to drop everything to recommend this Toccata Classics recording in the strongest possible terms to all lovers of renaissance and baroque music and of organ music in general’ (MusicWeb International); ‘this recording may be the closest thing we’ll ever get to hearing Cabanilles’s music as he might have played it. I look forward to the next volume of the collection’ (Fanfare)
