Daniel-Ben Pienaar continues his campaign of performing early music on a modern piano with an abundant selection of Pavans & Galliards, Variations & Grounds by William Byrd. The 16th-century composer”s finest sets of dances and variations, featuring some of the Elizabethan era”s most popular tunes, set the standard for English keyboard music for generations to come. With astonishing virtuosity, Daniel-Ben elicits a wealth of color and textures from his Steinway model D. Two-and-a-half hours of music spread over two albums, this is most substantial survey of Byrd”s keyboard music ever recorded on a modern piano, and ranges from frequently-heard works such as the First Pavan and Sellinger”s Round to little-known gems like Callino Casturame and the late, great Quadran Pavan and Galliard.
