A contemporary ode to William Byrd reads: “None suche I feare shall rise that may be calde his sonne.” Besides his monumental choral output, William Byrd was also widely renowned in his time for his role in the development of a uniquely English style of keyboard music, one that was abandoned in the decades after his death. Harpsichordist Eugene Petrushansky explores the music of Byrd, his immediate antecedents, his late 17th-century successors, and the 20th-century resurgence of interest in the old repertoire, including Orlando Gibbons, John Roberts, Herbert Howells and Lennox Berkeley.
