About this release

In 2006 the 400th birthday of Rembrandt is celebrated on a large scale. Occasion to have a look at the musical life taking place around this famous painter. Although, apparently he hardly knew any of these composers personally.

The music paints an interesting and varied picture. At the time it was part of a flourishing cultural life in The Netherlands. Of course Sweelinck has proved to be of more than local and temporary importance and so did the blind Jacob van Eijck. Oddly enough, these days people like Cornelis Schuyt and Constantijn Huygens are mostly remembered because Dutch streets have been named after them.

Musica Amphion under Pieter-Jan Belder has compiled a selection to aurally illustrate Rembrandt’s era and thus paint a broader picture. Pieter-Jan Belder and his ensemble have made several very well received recordings for Brilliant Classics including the complete oeuvre by Corelli.
