Ton Koopman - Touching History

Ton Koopman shaped the sound and the intellectual position of the movement to discover how the musicians of the past might have performed the music of their time. Orpheus Instituut is very grateful for the acquisition of the Ton Koopman collection, now integrated into the work of the Resounding Libraries research cluster:  https://orpheusinstituut.be/en/projects/resounding-libraries --- References: Charles Burney - A general history of music, from the earliest ages to the present period https://www.loc.gov/item/36034066/ John Hawkins - A general history of the science and practice of music https://www.loc.gov/item/03027652/ Dieterich Buxtehude https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieterich_Buxtehude --- You can get in touch with us via [email protected]  Orpheus Sounds is a series of snapshots of Orpheus Instituut, a research center where we explore the making and understanding of music. https://orpheusinstituut.be  Made with the support of Wederik de Baecker, Pieter Blomme and Kayo Quintens.
