Description

The "Flemish Music Heritage" series is dedicated to the rediscovery of the Flemish musical heritage, presenting forgotten or rarely performed works as well as new perspectives on familiar repertoire. Created in collaboration with the Study Centre for Flemish Music, the recordings are based on extensive research in libraries and archives, as well as carefully prepared musical editions.

This album focuses on piano works by Lodewijk Mortelmans. Belgian pianist Jozef De Beenhouwer, who has spent decades studying the music of the Romantic and late Romantic periods, presents various facets of Mortelmans' piano oeuvre, bringing a now little-known representative of Belgian music history to the fore.
