Pieter-Jan Belder; Dandrieu (1682-1738)

Description:

Recreating the diverse sounds of the royal organist's works!In the summer of 2019, organ virtuoso Peter-Jan Belder went to the Church of St. Kosmas and St. Damianos in Vesleys, northeastern France, to record in the hottest weather in 72 years, with outside temperatures over 40 degrees. With the full cooperation of a full-time local organist, the 1779 Georg Küttinger organ was brought up to its best condition and sounded wonderfully beautiful from the lowest to the highest notes. A royal organist during the reign of Louis XV, Dandrieu's organ music is full of the ingenuity that sustained the ritual as a chapel organist, and is characterized by its variety of tones, clarity, brilliance, and familiarity. It is good news to be able to obtain the sound of an organ of the period in good condition, as the work sometimes specifies the use of stops that were popular at the time.
