Composer, organist, organ builder and teacher of international renown, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562-1621) was known in his own time as the 'Orpheus of Amsterdam'.Among his significant contributions to Franco-Flemish polyphony, one finds both psalms in French which closely follow the dictates of the Reformation and sacred vocal works in Latin, among which the Magnificat is outstanding.
“The clean, easy blend of Capella Amsterdam fits Sweelinck’s smooth, understated polyphony.” The Independent
