Complete Fitzwilliam Virginal Book

Pieter-Jan Belder (harpsichord, organ & virginal)

De eerste complete opname van het Fitzwilliam Maagdenboek op 15 CD's! Deze opmerkelijke collectie werken voor het virginaal of klein klavecimbel is ondergebracht in het Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. Het is de grootste verzameling van Elizabethaanse en Jacobeaanse muziek voor klavierinstrumenten, met in totaal bijna 300 handgeschreven composities. In de selectie uit het Fitzwilliam Virginal Book overheersen de contemplatieve stukken, waarvoor Belder zijn gemakkelijk stuwende impuls grotendeels moet beteugelen. Hij slaagt daar uitstekend in, tegelijk weet hij vanuit de contemplatieve lijn sterk stuwende climaxen op te bouwen. Zo muteren de stukken onder zijn hand tot ware karakterstukken, die het beluisteren meer dan waard zijn.
