Susanne van Soldt was a 12-year-old daughter, of a wealthy merchant, a protestant refugee from the Netherlands, who lived in London. Hans van Soldt from Antwerp in 1577, probably after the plundering of Antwerp (1576). After 1605, they must have moved to Amsterdam, where he worked for the East Indian Company.

this is a harpichord; or a clavecimbel as we call it it in dutch. I am very proud to be a Brabander. Best region in the world (Vlemish and Dutch)!

Oh, this sounds really noble! And hey, those quasi rubatos makes it super expressive!

Oh and on a side-note, how many pedal does your harpsichord have? Since it is using a different sets of strings?

It does not meet my standards!... like another person who actually can play one of those or even have access to one watched this and was like " Pah this Nube can suck it!
