From the liner notes:

In the 15th and 16th century, the south of ‘Nederland’ – present day the southern part of the Netherlands, Belgium and the northern part of France – was a central stage of music history where many Flemish school giants came from. However, after the 17th century, the north of ‘Nederland’ – present day Holland – seems to have been out of the main musical stage. Music in churches was considerably restricted under Calvinist culture, and there was no court that functioned as a musical center. But we can hardly think of Holland, which enjoyed unprecedented economical prosperity and produced many prominent artists like Rembrandt, Vermeer and others, as a barren region for music during this period. In fact, Amsterdam was a center for music publishing and attracted many foreign musicians. One can easily imagine that Holland was a fertile region for amateur musicians, where noblemen and wealthy people themselves played and enjoyed music. And the demand for publishing from such amateurs surely laid the foundation for the further progress of musical culture. This CD is a collection of domestic instrumental music enjoyed by music lovers in 17th and early 18th century Holland. By spotlighting Holland, which was a huge consumer market for music, and into which a variety of musical styles flowed from other European countries, you will feel the lively pleasure of baroque instrumental music.
