Flemish Music Heritage: Joseph Ryelandt – Jozef De Beenhouwer

The Flemish Music Heritage series is a journey of discovery that brings remarkable pieces of musical heritage back to life. Forgotten scores are brought to light and well-known compositions are given a new perspective. In close collaboration with the Study Center for Flemish Music, the recordings are made after intensive research in libraries and archives and are based on carefully prepared scores. The works, expertly selected by connoisseurs, are performed by renowned musicians and ensembles who are passionate about giving neglected and forgotten composers the recognition they deserve. With these lively 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 been promoting Ryelandt’s music for decades, the album highlights a versatile and subtle voice in Belgian music history.
