Today in De Wandeling, we will hear excerpts from a special double CD by the American pianist Kit Armstrong. On it he plays works by the two most famous virginalists from 16th and 17th century England. William Byrd and John Bull. He proves that this music can also be performed very well on a modern grand piano.
