Daniel is a recorder and early keyboard player based in Amsterdam. Specialising in medieval and Renaissance music, he explores the intersection of medieval music, queer studies, and embodied research through a variety of performance contexts.
In 2022, Daniel became the first early musician to win The Royal Overseas League Solo Wind, Brass & Percussion Competition and was a finalist in the 2021 Moeck/SRP Recorder Competition. He is a member of The The Royal Wind Music, a unique consort of renaissance recorders based in Amsterdam, and a founding member and artistic director of Rune, a UK-based medieval ensemble. He also leads Ymnus, a new project delving into medieval music with colleagues from The Royal Wind Music. See Bio and Projects for more information and other collaborations.
Daniel teaches recorder at Scholen in de Kunst in Amersfoort and offers private lessons in recorder, flute, harpsichord, piano and music theory in and around Amsterdam. Please get in touch for more information.
Recent recording
Here is a recent recording of Boulez’s Dialogue de l’ombre double by Daniel as part of his Masters research into Deliberate Practice and complex music. Originally composed for the clarinet in 1985 and transcribed for recorder in 2015, the piece presents many challenges on the recorder. Strophe I (at 1:15) is especially demanding, it pushes the recorder to its extreme in range and flexibility.
