About

Pieter Bustijn was a Flemish composer, harpsichordist, organist and carillon-player, who lived from 1649-1729. Very little is known about his life, because of the destruction of the Middelburg Archive during World War II. Only one opus survived, his 9 Cembalo Suites, which were published in Amsterdam in 1712 by the famous publisher Estienne Roger, so these are the “Complete Works” of Pierre Bustijn on CD.

His nine Suites for harpsichord were evidently held in high esteem in their day, being worthy of publication and wide dissemination. We can hear why: according to the eminent scholar Albert Clement, ‘The Suites offer us a surprising glimpse into Dutch musical life during the Baroque period and they are of great importance as far as the history of keyboard music in the Netherlands is concerned.’ They betray a certain Bachian influence in both their melodies and form, and indeed the influence is most positively appreciated in their rhythmic verve and stylish construction.

Alessandro Simonetto (b.1974) is a fine young Italian harpsichordist, as well as an enterprising digital musicpublisher: the founder of both OnClassical.com and kunstderfuge.com, both vast online resources of music.

"... a pianist with immense talent and will most surely make his mark in the musical profession" - Eric James, music associate of the late Sir Charles Chaplin
