A fine renaissance piece by Luzzasco Luzzaschi (c.1545–1607): 'Toccato del 4to tuono'.
He was an Italian composer, organist, and teacher of the late Renaissance. He was born and died in Ferrara, and despite evidence of travels to Rome it is assumed that Luzzaschi spent the majority of his life in his native city.
He was a skilled representative of the late Italian madrigal style, along with Palestrina, Wert, Monte, Lassus, Marenzio, Gesualdo and others.

Played on the 8' Werck plenum (but with addition of the Hollquinta 5 1⁄3’) of the beautiful and suitable Stellwagen instrument (1655-1659) at Stralsund.
Enjoy!
