“More than ever, Bärenreiter have done themselves proud in producing a very scholarly edition of a fairly arcane area of the repertoire which therefore calls for close attention to the original sources and reliable guidance for performers today. …As the music doesn’t feature a separate pedal part, this collection will be welcomed by keyboard players as much as by organists. ”'

“ Stembridge’s new edition thus has some of the features of a scholarly performing edition and some of the features of a complete critical edition. It provides the level of detail usually found in a critical edition and with its multiple readings of sources is a superb scholarly reference. On the other hand, that very multiplicity challenges the performer to work with an “open” text, to experiment with different versions of a work, and to revisit questions of improvisation within 17 th -century performance practice. As such, this is a valuable addition to the range of modern editions of Frescobaldi’s keyboard music.”'
