Ricercar
Ricercar
Ricercar was founded by Jérôme Lejeune in 1980 and the label swiftly became one of the major players in the rediscovery of early music. Each recording is made with the greatest respect possible for the history and origins of the work concerned. Ricercar has always sought out performers of the highest quality and its artists’ list has grown continually over the last 40 years.
Recording of the Month: 'In short, this is a winner all round, and deserves to be taken up by historians and music lovers alike.'

Reviews
'Bernard Foccroulle gives us no-nonsense performances of historical integrity, but with an admirable sensitivity to the character, phrasing, and pace of the music.'
American Record Guide
'Bernard Foccroulle is a worthy interpreter of this music and this disc is an important addition to the catalogues of early Northern German Organ music.'
MusicWeb International
'The highlight is Foccroulle’s own completion of Praetorius’s Chorale Fantasia on ‘Durch Adams Fall’ ... Warmly recommended.'
Choir & Organ
'Everything is there, powerful and fresh, nuanced ... the text is magnified by its vocal illustration, in the most beautiful of settings'
