Sweelinck: The Complete Keyboard Works

Editorial Reviews
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.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars BEHOLD the Majesty and Brilliance of J.P. Sweelinck.......2006-07-11

After hearing Glenn Gould superbly interpret one of Sweelinck's fantasias on the piano I instantly had to get more Sweelinck. This Fantasy which introduced me to the Master must be one of the most magical and monumental Fantasias ever written. It is perhaps one of the most perfect examples of past medieval sounds, renaissance textures, combined with novel contrapuntal writing. In fact it perfectly looks foward to J.S Bach. I have made it a musical quest to discover and interpret some of Sweelinck's works on the modern piano. I enjoy much music, but Sweelinck, Bach, Bruckner, are the Composers I have dedicated most of my musical energies toward. I happily look foward to a lifetime of enjoyment, study and appreciation of the lives and works of these Masters.

As for the box set it excells in many respects, and the performers with the many euphonious sounding organs play suberbly throughout (this is highly virtuostic keyboard music). The sound quality is in no way lacking and the liner notes are highly informative and thorough.

If you are a lover of the Greatest in Musical Art then this collection will not disappoint.
