Pieter‐Jan Belder (harpsichord, chest organ & virginal) Second volume of a unique project: the first complete recording of the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book! The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book is the largest surviving collection of Elizabethan and Jacobean keyboard music, comprising more than 300 works, written by various composers, including such celebrities as John Bull, William Byrd, Orlando Gibbons and J.P. Sweelinck. This second volume is dedicated to William Byrd, and contains the famous Walsingham variations, and the variations on the popular tune “The Carman’s Whistle”, music of great virtuosity and ingenuity. A great achievement of Pieter‐Jan Belder, one of the most respected and frequently recorded keyboard (harpsichord, clavichord, virginal, organ, hammerklavier) players of today. His recordings of Bach, Rameau, CPE Bach and Scarlatti (complete Sonatas!) have met with great critical acclaim in the international press. Belder plays a unique original Ruckers instrument from 1604, the details of which are described in the extensive liner notes in the booklet.

The fantasia was in the process of being adapted for keyboard from lute and consort music during William Byrd’s youth, and his formidable mastery of counterpoint brought the form to a pinnacle equivalent to his matchless vocal works. These splendours combine with lively dances and virtuoso display and quotations from songs of love and death. They also may hold fascinating symbols which mark secret Catholic allegiances, a gift for Elizabeth I, and a memorial to the tragic Mary, Queen of Scots. Our cover image shows the only possible contemporary impression of Byrd, as a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal at the funeral of Elizabeth I. “Glen Wilson squares up to the Fantasias...If his playing isn't always free, it's eagle-eyed in its attention to detail: ornaments crackle with exactitude and the counterpoint is lucidly deconstructed with didactic precision...those seeking the Fantasias without having to purchase a complete set need not hesitate: a few moments of stiffness aside, Wilson is compelling.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2012 **** | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

| |  | Time Span - Live at Orgryte
and a Bach setting of 'Wir glaben all' an einen Gott'
In a live concert Bengt Tribukait exposes the two interesting organs at Örgryte New Church, Gothenburg, and their capacities. The North German baroque organ is a result of a research project at Gothenburg University. It was reconstructed entirely from scratch with old types of tools (also reconstructed) and according to old methods, and has already an international fame. The other organ was originally used in England but has been imported to Sweden. It is a Victorian organ from about 1870, made by the famous organ-builder Henry Willis. The concert program contains music from four centuries by (17th c.) Byrd, (18th c.) Vivaldi and Bach, (19th c.) Liszt, (c. 2000) Borisova and Dimitrijev (two young Russian composers, living in Stockholm) | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

Between about 1550 and 1830, some of the most beautiful English music was written for the organ, by composers such as Byrd, Purcell, Handel and Stanley. In the documentary The Elusive English Organ, Daniel Moult sets out to perform this repertoire on appropriate organs of the time. But this is by no means straightforward. Many organs have been destroyed or changed beyond recognition. The Reformation, the Civil War and the Victorian zeal for rebuilding took a great toll on this country’s original organ heritage. Therefore, to accomplish his goal, Daniel has to journey to some surprising places: private chapels, country houses, even a trip to France. In doing so he finds some of the few remaining English organs built between 1550 and 1830. These fascinating instruments allow him to show the relationship between the historic English organ and its music. Featuring: Dominic Gwynn, John Mander and Kimberly Marshall DVD running time: 50 minutes DVD (documentary) & CD (recital) | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |
