Wonderful recordings. I have the Bruch and Bloch coupled with the Dvorak conducted by Szell with the Berlin.

The music is very interesting - van Oevering was only 17 years old when he wrote and published these suites, but they were the first to show the influence of Dieupart's suites, which were conceived for the English public; van Oevering knew them, and his print was known in the Bach circle and an important influence on Bach's "English" suites. The liner notes give many insights in the life and works of this little known composer. Sound is excellent - it is the organ which the composer himself had ordered, who had the organist's post in Leeuwarden at the time. The harpsichord was recorded in the church but still sounds very good and detailed (I prefer more intimate rooms with harpsichords). Asperen is in great forms, two suites played on the organ (just like the composer probably did), four on harpsichord.

Can't find this on Amazon. How did you get it?

It is brand new, mine is an advance copy, it is scheduled for May release. You can get it from the label directly:

https://www.aeolus-music.com/ae_en

Seems they still have to put it on their web pages, though ...

JPC has it listed:
