Hmm. An author, a\ncyclist, a singer... then many people's list runs out. Perhaps they\nshould also remember a Belgian musician: Flor Peeters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere\ncan't be many organists whose portrait has graced a Nation's postage\nstamps. But this was only one of a great many honours and tributes to\nperformer, conductor, teacher, and composer Franciscus Florentinus\nPeeters. Born on 4 July 1903 in Tielen, near Turnhout (and later made an\nhonorary citizen of that town), he died at Antwerp on his birthday in\n1986. In the course of a sixty-year career he had gained worldwide\nrenown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlor\nPeeters as composer is today represented in the CD catalogues though by\nonly a tiny fraction of his vast output, but what of Peeters as\nperformer? Although occasional LPs were released in the '50s and '60s,\nall have long ago been deleted from the catalogues. Search, and we\nbelieve you won't find any recording of his currently available - until\nnow! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn\nthe early fifties Flor Peeters recorded, for the Nixa Record Company,\nthree recitals at the organ of the church of St. Jans, in Gouda (of\ncheese fame). Of these recordings one included works by old English\ncomposers (and curiously appears not to have been issued in the UK -\nthough it may be we just haven't looked hard enough); one was of the\nmusic of early Italian composers; and the third, our reissue, was of the\nmusic of the \"Old Netherlands Masters\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne\nreason for any difficulty in listing 'famous Belgians', perhaps, is that\nBelgium as we know it today is a relatively young country. At the\nbeginning of the fifteenth century it was a part of a much larger\nentity: the Netherlands, which included part of what today is Northern\nFrance as well as Belgium, Luxembourg, and Holland, and though this\nunion was broken at the end of the sixteenth century, the term remained\nin widespread use in Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing\nthe term 'Netherlands' allows Peeters a much larger geographical area\nthan just 'Holland', and each of the ten tracks on this release is by a\ndifferent composer. They are presented in roughly chronological\nsequence, from a motet of Guillame Dufay (1395-1474) to a preludium of\nVan Der Kerckhoven (1627-1673) which foreshadows Bach and Buxtehude.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlor\nPeeters tailors his use of the capabilities of the St Jans organ to\ncomplement the development of the compositional styles, from using\nsingle and simple stops to unleashing many of the 4,000-plus pipes on\nthis 1730s instrument. The 1952 recording captures fine detail as well\nas the ambience of the venue, though we suspect that the engineers\ndidn't expect that the sound of the truck driving off outside would be\naudible - and it wasn't, until revealed by our restoration!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis\nis a highly unusual, eclectic, and pleasurable recital and we recommend\nit not only to aficionados of the 'king of instruments' but to anyone\nwho loves music and would like to venture into less familiar territory.\nWe're delighted to be able to make this unique recording available once\nagain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,san-serif;\"\u003ePeter Harrison\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDufay\u003c\/b\u003e (1395-1474) -
