After Joseph Callaerts (titular organist from 1891 to 1901), Gustaaf Brees (from 1901 to 1926), Alex Paepen (from 1926 to 1962) and Stanislas Deriemaeker (from 1962 to 2002), Peter Van de Velde is the fifth titular organist of the romantic Schyven organ of Antwerp Cathedral. Peter Van de Velde, born in 1972, began his organ studies as an autodidact at the age of nine. At twelve he became organist of the village church of Doel in East Flanders. He received his first music lessons at the Antwerp Academy of Fine Arts. There he was awarded a first prize for aural training and the highest distinction in the organ category. Peter Van de Velde continued his studies at the Royal Flemish Music Conservatory in Antwerp, where he won several first prizes and a soloist diploma in 1996. He was the last student of Stanislas Deriemaeker. During his studies, and also afterwards, he participated in numerous master classes for organ and improvisation. On this recording he presents several transcriptions for organ by the composer César Franck.

SOMM RECORDINGS is pleased to announce a celebration of Favourite Orchestral Classics by Iain Sutherland and the Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. Recorded in Munich in 1998 and Hanover in 1992, these glorious recordings bear the unmistakable stamp of the Scottish maestro's reputation for emotion, colour and drama. Sixteen composers drawn from three centuries of memorable music range from the brilliant heraldic flourish of Charpentier's Te Deum Prelude (made internationally popular as the signature tune of the European Broadcasting Union) to Stravinsky's agenda-changing The Firebird, with it's beautiful Lullaby. There is yearning romance in Prokofiev's 'The Young Juliet' and Mascagni's Intermezzo from Cavalleria rusticana, thrilling fantasy in Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream Scherzo, ecstatic energy in Khachaturian's Sabre Dance (Gayane), infectious high spirits in Copland's Hoe-Down (Rodeo) and the sylvan beauty of On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring by Delius. Other highlights include unforgettable classic moments from Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (the delightful 'Le Caprice de Nanette'), Bizet (the lilting Minuet from L'Arlésienne with it's novel use of saxophone), Bach (the sublime Sheep May Safely Graze) and Puccini (Suor Angelica's melody-rich Intermezzo). Completing the wide-ranging recital are Grieg's festive Wedding Day at Troldhaugen and evocative Norwegian Rustic March, the haunting scenesetting introduction to Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, and Debussy's vividly impressionistic en bateau. Iain Sutherland's previous SOMM releases include the Inchimpressive... fully recommendedInch (Musical Opinion) Bernstein Broadway to Hollywood (Ariadne 5002) and In London Town (SOMMCD 0117) with it's Inchsparkling performances of some of the cream of light musicInch (MusicWeb International).
