Info for A Playlist for Rembrandt



2019 is Rembrandt year! The musical side of the great Dutch baroque painter Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) is the source of inspiration for this CD: This is music Rembrandt could have heard in his environment, and in some cases most certainly did.

The Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, where Rembrandt’s most important paintings are found, was the site of the recording on the unique Petrus Joannes Couchet harpsichord, which also belongs to the collection of the Rijksmuseum.

Bob van Asperen, a native of Amsterdam, is the ideal performer for this extraordinary project. In the booklet text, the renowned harpsichord player tells of the many hitherto almost unknown relations between Rembrandt and the music of his time.

Bob van Asperen, harpsichord



Bob van Asperen
is one of the most famous early music specialists for harpsichord, clavichord, and organ, and is also known as a conductor and musicologist.

Bob van Asperen was born in Amsterdam in 1947. His musical education began with lessons from his mother, and he later studied with Gustav Leonhardt and Albert de Klerk. A regular guest at important festivals throughout the world, his recitals include virtually the whole repertoire of keyboard literature from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. Bob van Asperen teaches a master class for harpsichord at the Amsterdam Conservatory.

Since 1999, Bob van Asperen and AEOLUS have developed an intensive collaboration, the results of which include their critically acclaimed recordings of the works of J.J. Froberger and J.S. Bach.

Bernhard Klapprott
studied harpsichord with Hugo Ruf and Bob van Asperen, organ with Michael Schneider and Ewald Kooiman. In 1991, he was awarded 1st Prize at the 10th International Organ Competition at the Festival van Vlaanderen in Bruges for his performance of works of Bach and Mozart.

He concertises internationally as a keyboard soloist, continuo player and conductor and has made compact disc and radio recordings including the complete keyboard music of Thomas Tomkins (4 CDs, MDG, “Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik”) and organ music of Johann Sebastian Bach (2 CDs as part of the complete recordings on organs built by Andreas and Johann Andreas Silbermann, AEOLUS). In 1999, together with Christoph Dittmar, he founded the ensemble, Cantus Thuringia & Capella, which presented numerous concerts and recordings emphasising Central German music from the 16th to 18th centuries as well as performed staged works combined with historical acting. In this context, he initiated the project, “Music Legacy Thuringia”, which has been dedicated to the rediscovery and publication of mainly unknown Thuringian vocal and instrumental music (CD series with cpo and editions).

He has taught at the University of Dortmund, the Colleges of Music in Detmold, Herford and Bremen as well as in masterclasses. Since 1994, Bernhard Klapprott has been Professor of Harpsichord/Early Keyboard Instruments as well as Organ for music from the 16th to 18th centuries in the Department of Early Music at The Liszt School of Music Weimar.
