About the performer
Menno van Delft (Amsterdam, 1963) studied organ with Piet Kee and Jacques van Oortmerssen, harpsichord with Anneke Uittenbosch, Gustav Leonhardt and Bob van Asperen, and musicology at the University of Utrecht. For several years, under Wim van Gerven's formative direction, he sang Gregorian chant in the Schola Cantorum, made up of Amsterdam students. In 1988 Van Delft won the clavichord prize at the C.Ph.E. Bach - Competition in Hamburg. He has made several recordings with works by J.S. Bach: the six violin sonatas, the Musikalisches Opfer, the Art of Fugue and the seven keyboard toccatas. He also contributed to the complete recording of the keyboard works by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, which was awarded an Edison and the Deutsche Schallplatten Kritik Preis. Van Delft teaches harpsichord, clavichord and basso continuo at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hamburg.
