Flemish Music Heritage: Ryelandt III

The Vlaams Muziekpatrimonium series is a voyage of discovery that brings remarkable pieces of musical heritage back to life. Forgotten scores come to light and well-known compositions gain new perspective. In close collaboration with the Studiecentrum Vlaamse Muziek, the recordings are the result of intensive research in libraries and archives and are based on carefully prepared scores. The works, expertly selected by connoisseurs, are performed by respected musicians and ensembles who are passionately committed to giving neglected and forgotten composers the recognition they deserve. With these vivid composer monographs, Antarctica Records aims to broaden horizons and enrich the repertoire with rediscovered treasures from the past. This FMH album focuses on the third and final part of the works for solo piano by Joseph Ryelandt (1870-1965). Recorded by Jozef De Beenhouwer, who has championed Ryelandt's music for decades, the album sheds light on a versatile and subtle voice in Belgian music history.
