Harpsichord Recital Series: The Dutch Influence with Faythe Vollrath

Harpsichord Recital Series: The Dutch Influence

Faythe Vollrath, hailed by the Wall Street Journal for her “subtly varied tempo and rhythm that sounds like breathing,” performs an exciting concert of repertoire celebrating the Dutch influence. Beginning with Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, one of the most important Dutch composers of all time, the audience will be introduced to a variety of fascinating works, and a history of the development of the Northern European compositional tradition. Featured works will include Sweelinck’s Unter den Linden Grune and Mein Junges Leben Hat Ein End. Additional pieces will feature seventeenth- century composers influenced by Sweelinck including Johann Adam Reincken, Heinrich Scheidemann, and Peter Phillips.
