Frauke Rauterberg - Van Eyck: Der Fluyten Lust-Hof (2023) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Jacob van Eyck (around 1590 – 1657) is one of the most important musicians of the 17th century in the Netherlands. After making a name for himself as a carillonneur with his improvements to several carillons in the Netherlands, he was put in charge of the bells of all parish churches and the town hall in Utrecht in 1628 and was given the title "Director of the Bell Works". His recorder playing, which he showed in public parks and in the Utrecht churchyard, has come down to us in several prints. The "FLUYTEN LUST-HOF" (printed 1649/1654) is to this day the most extensive collection in European music history with works for a recorder solo. In addition to some free forms, this is a collection of variations on song and dance melodies that were well known at the time, which owe their special status to van Eyck's virtuoso art of improvisation. The "FLUYTEN LUST-HOF" includes almost 150 works.

Frauke Rauterberg has selected 10 works for this album that are among her favorite pieces from this large collection. She plays a Renaissance soprano recorder and a Renaissance alto recorder in g', which were built by Andreas Schwob based on historical models. She completed her recorder studies with Prof. Christoph Huntgeburth in Berlin "with distinction" and completed her solo training with Walter van Hauwe in Amsterdam.
