Our Take

Pieter-Jan Belder takes us on a whimsical journey through the organ works of William Byrd in his latest album, striking a perfect balance between historical reverence and playful interpretation. From the hauntingly beautiful melodies of "Fantasia in C" to the exuberant flourishes of "Voluntary in D Minor," Belder's skillful touch infuses each track with a sense of joy and spontaneity.

Belder's mastery of the organ is evident throughout, as he effortlessly navigates the intricate counterpoint and dynamic shifts of Byrd's compositions. His nuanced phrasing and subtle use of ornamentation breathe new life into these centuries-old works, inviting listeners to rediscover the beauty and complexity of Byrd's music.

The album's production is crisp and clear, allowing every note and nuance to shine through. Belder's choice of registration brings a warmth and richness to the sound, enhancing the emotional depth of each piece. The result is a captivating listening experience that transports the listener to another time and place, where the organ reigns supreme and Byrd's genius is on full display.

In a musical landscape dominated by flashy production and commercial appeal, Pieter-Jan Belder's Byrd: Organ Works is a refreshing reminder of the timeless beauty and craftsmanship of early music. It is a testament to Belder's talent and dedication, and a must-listen for anyone with a love of classical music or a curiosity about the history of the organ.
