Composer, organist, organ builder and teacher of international renown, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck was known in his own time as the 'Orpheus of Amsterdam.' Among his significant contributions to Franco-Flemish polyphony are psalms in French that closely follow the dictates of the Reformation and sacred vocal works in Latin, among which the Magnificat is particularly outstanding. Cappella Amsterdam is a professional chamber choir founded in 1970. Over the past few years the ensemble, under the direction of Daniel Reuss, has occupied a prominent position in the field of early music as well as modern and contemporary repertoires.
