Information: About bundles

A bundle makes it possible to get a better price for a certain set of AEOLUS CDs.

You may have noticed that here on the AEOLUS website certain CDs and SACDs are displayed to be available as part of a "bundle". So what is a bundle? A bundle is a set of several complete AEOLUS CDs. In case you buy a bundle you pay significantly less than you would pay for the single CDs, but you get the exact same CDs, including original packaging and original booklet.

This way we created bundles e.g. for some of our composer series, e.g. Froberger, Maleingreau, etc. Please find here all bundles on offer.

Please note that these bundles are only available here on the AEOLUS website, not elsewhere.

Pavanne

Harpsichord friends had to wait a long time for this fourth SACD and the conclusion of the complete harpsichord works of Louis Couperin. On the fantastic original “Velen” Ruckers harpsichord, recorded in a church on the Lower Rhine, Bob van Aspern shows with his inimitably flexible and colorful playing why this repertoire is so loved by connoisseurs.

The musical proximity to Johann Jacob Froberger and the Parisian colleagues is not only to be heard, but also described and elucidated by Bob van Asperen in the as always comprehensive booklet – even several works by Parisian “guest composers” are included as in the previous volumes: e.g. here a pavanne of Jacques Champion de Chambonnières can be heard as last movement of the suite in g minor.

Found on the SACD layer are high-resolution recordings in stereo and in 5.0 surround sound.

A fifth organ volume is still in preparation.
