The press about previous Volumes:

As recorded, Vermeulen comes across as an (...) essentially extrovert voice, gently cushioned in a warm acoustic (...). Where Vermeulen"s 1826 Streicher really comes into its own is in the neurotic changeability of the Impromptus, exchanging the emotional comfort zone of many modern piano versions to chilling musical statements of profound loneliness and desolation.
Julian Haylock (International Piano)

It"s a real treat (...) Vermeulen is admirably expressive, and makes full use of the instrument"s wide dynamic range in some really dramatic contrasts. His articulation is very clear, and in particular staccato bass notes make their proper effect instead of being blurred by the sustaining pedal as usually happens on the modern piano. Above all, he can make a tune really sing, with subtle control of rhythm and dynamics. (...) This is a very impressive achievement, and can be highly ecommended.
Richard Maunder (Early Music Review)

Fortepianist Jan Vermeulen studied at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels with André de Groote. He graduated in 1979, obtaining a higher diploma of piano. After having won the Tenuto Competition in 1979, held by the Belgian Radio and Television (BRT), Jan Vermeulen started an impressive career as a soloist and chamber musician in Belgium as well as abroad.

His performances are marked by a constant search for authenticity. Jan Vermeulen wants to interpret the classical, romantic and impressionistic repertoire in a historically grounded and well-considered way. As a result, piano music is interpreted on period instruments that mostly belong to his own private collection, which now consists of seven fortepianos.
