Mishka Rushdie Momen - Reformation: Keyboard works by William Byrd, Orlando Gibbons, John Bull & Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck [CD]

'Encountering a palace of riches' is how pianist (and Hyperion debutante) Mishka Rushdie Momen describes her experience of playing Tudor keyboard music, a varied selection of which is included here.

It's a description which could apply equally to the listener discovering the music in performances as convincingly idiomatic as these.
