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.  

“Many recordings over the last few decades have demonstrated the superb quality of British brass playing; 'Under the Spell of Spain' will rightfully take its place among them.”

“This intriguing "water-borne" voyage runs the gamut from more classically-tinged interpretations to straight-ahead and improvised jazz. Along that journey we are treated to a highly inspired and masterfully presented performance.”

“All cleverly arranged and beautifully played, with excellent sonics.”

“The CD is just fabulous. The ensemble playing is fantastic; the tightness of the ensemble is amazing; the balance and dynamics are just brilliant.”
