Synopsis

Album Description
This is the first-ever integral edition of the complete keyboard works of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562-16121), one of the most important composers of his time and one of the great precursors of Bach. Known in his day as "The Orpheus of Amsterdam," Sweelinck created a body of keyboard music of exceptionally high quality that has remained popular for over 400 years ? but until now, no complete recorded edition has been available! Six harpsichordists and nine organists were engaged to complete this historic recording project, each contributing a program which forms a musical whole. Beautifully packaged in a deluxe box with a hardbound 216-page book featuring detailed notes and full information on the performers and instruments (including detailed specifications on each organ and full color photos of each instrument). All digital recordings 1999-2001.
