Kit Armstrong – William Byrd · John Bull: 'The Visionaries of Piano Music'

We announce the release of pianist and composer Kit Armstrong’s debut album on DG. Exploring a remarkable legacy of works originally written for organ or the virginal – close relative of the harpsichord. The Visionaries of Piano Music presents pieces that were conceived as much more than diversions for an elite or adornments to ritual, span everything from meditative elegies and rousing marches to virtuoso variations on popular melodies and Bull’s ingenious canons.

The album is released today, 9 July 2021.
