Core repertoire
Organist of the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam, Sweelinck was nicknamed the "maker of organists" for having trained the founders of the North German school. His fantasias, toccatas, and variations combine the richness of the Venetian Gabrielis with the ornamentation of the English virginalists.
