This is a rediscovery of forgotten scores as the piano sonatas of Joseph Ryelandt haven't been recorded before.
Fittingly performed by Jozef De Beenhouwer who has dedicated hilmself to Flemish music for which he received theLifetime Achievement Award of Klara in 2010. This is the first album of the new Antarctica series "Flemish Music Heritage" as well as the first volume out of 3 albums dedicated to Ryelandt's piano music.
The Flemish Music Heritage series is a journey of discovery, reviving remarkable pieces of musical heritage. Forgotten scores are brought to light, and familiar compositions are given a fresh perspective. In close collaboration with the Study Centre for Flemish Music, the recordings are founded on intensive research in libraries and archives and meticulously prepared score editions. The works, expertly selected by connoisseurs, are performed by valued musicians and ensembles who passionately restore neglected and forgotten composers to the recognition they deserve. With these vibrant composer monographs, Antarctica Records aims to broaden horizons and enrich the repertoire with rediscovered treasures from the past. World Premiere Recordings
