Harpsichord and Baroque music in Taiwan! Feat. Pieter-Jan Belder (Part 1)

Hello, hello! This show was produces during Taiwan's lunar New Year Holiday in 2023. Welcome to a Lunar New Year special of Come Along, where I bring you a full 30 min of program. Have you ever listened to the sound of a harpsichord? Today’s guest is a master of this instrument, and more. Let’s welcome Pieter-Jan Belder, award-winning harpsichordist and conductor from the Netherlands. He was here for the 2023 Fitzwilliam Festival where he gave several live performances in Taiwan. I was lucky enough to attend one, and it was so beautiful. I’m curious, how and why Pieter-Jan chose this instrument? As a harpsichordist, does he have specific preferences of clothing for performances? As someone who loves old music, what’s his take on popular music? Let’s find out.
