Description

Sweelinck (May 1562– October 1621) was a Dutch composer, organist and pedagogue whose work straddled the end of the Renaissance and beginning of the Baroque eras. He was among the first major keyboard composers of Europe and his work as a teacher helped establish the north German organ tradition. Sweelinck represents the highest development of the Dutch keyboard school and represented a pinnacle in keyboard contrapuntal complexity and refinement before J.S. Bach.  

“Every now and again a recording that is both truly outstanding and will have great appeal to brass band listeners appears on the shelves. We are delighted to make it the first recipient of our CD of the Year Editors Award.”

Kenneth Crookston
