The second volume in this truly unique project: a complete recording of Schubert’s works for fortepiano on an original Nannette Streicher fortepiano from 1826 discovered only recently in the castle Vilain XIIII in Leut, Belgium. This recording reveals an instrument that continues to grow in sound and colour, and a musician with a deep understanding of Schubert and a firm grip on a sensitive old lady. The Vilain XIIII’s six-octave straight-strung Streicher has an intimate sound with precise articulation and a transparent bass register that is perfectly suited to the music of Schubert. Fortepianist Jan Vermeulen studied in Brussels with André de Groote. He then began an impressive career as a soloist and chamber musician in Belgium, as well as abroad. His performances are marked by a constant search for authenticity with historically grounded and well-considered interpretations of the classical, romantic and impressionist repertoire. To this end, he performs piano music on period instruments, mainly from his own private collection. He is a member of The Tröndlin Ensemble and works with Paul Dombrecht, Wieland Kuijken, Florian Heyerick and a wide range of vocal artists, such as soprano Anne Cambier.
