Flemish Music Heritage: Lodewijk Mortelmans - Piano WorksNouveau

The Flemish Music Heritage series is a journey of discovery, reviving remarkable pieces of musical heritage. Forgotten scores are brought to light, and familiar compositions are given a fresh perspective. In close collaboration with the Study Centre for Flemish Music, the recordings are founded on intensive research in libraries and archives and meticulously prepared score editions.​ The works, expertly selected by connoisseurs, are performed by valued musicians and ensembles who passionately restore neglected and forgotten composers to the recognition they deserve. With these vibrant composer monographs, Antarctica Records aims to broaden horizons and enrich the repertoire with rediscovered treasures from the past. This FMH album focuses on works for piano solo by Lodewijk Mortelmans (1868–1952). Performed by Jozef De Beenhouwer, who has championed romantic and late romantic music for decades, the album sheds light on a versatile and refined voice in Belgian musical history.
