Product Description: American pianist and composer Kit Armstrong steps back in time to revive the spirit of the early English composers William Byrd and John Bull on his Deutsche Grammophon debut album. William Byrd & John Bull: The Visionaries of Piano Music explores a remarkable legacy of works originally written for the virginal - a close relative of the harpsichord. "William Byrd and John Bull created the universe - the universe of keyboard music as it still exists today." - Kit Armstrong. 2 CD.
