[Machine Translation] William Byrd is one of the most famous composers of English Renaissance music. He is revered as the "Father of Britannian Music" and was active in the royal chapels and left numerous religious, chamber, and keyboard works. This recording includes representative keyboard works. Setsuko Awataguchi collected as much music material as possible and had it recomposed based on her strong belief that "I want to get as close as possible to the original sound of Bird's music when he wrote it. Bard's unique and highly developed rhythmic development, technical skill, and the beauty of the melody that emerges from the music. It is astonishing to think that about 100 years before the great Bach, there were already keyboard pieces with the same musical joy and rigorous structure as the great Bach. Please listen to the "voice of the heart" of Byrd released by Awataguchi's precise and vivid performance.
