Eighteenth-century Flemish harpsichord music today is mostly identified with the Pièces de clavecin of 1731 by Joseph-Hector Fiocco (1703-1741). Although this collection, consisting of two major harpsichord suites, undoubtedly forms the high point in the genre, I want this CD to show that Fiocco was certainly not the only good Flemish harpsichord composer. (For those interested in Fiocco's harpsichord works, I refer to my complete recording of his Pièces de clavecin (ACCENT 24176, 2007)). The repertoire of this CD is the result of an artistic research project I carried out into eighteenth-century Flemish harpsichord music, based on the rich collection of the Antwerp Conservatory library.

Demeyere shows us that there is more to Flemisch harpsichord music than only Fiocco's music and this cd is a unique statement for that and takes us into the wealth of other compostions of the eighteenth century.

Jenseits von Fiocco
Der ausgezeichnete belgische Cembalist Ewald Demeyere zeigt uns, dass Flämische Cembalomusik nicht nur aus Kompositionen von Fiocco besteht. Diese CD ist ein einzigartiger Beweis für den Reichtum an weiteren Kompositionen aus dem 18. Jahrhundert.
