Ton Koopman shaped the sound and the intellectual position of the movement to discover how the musicians of the past might have performed the music of their time. Orpheus Instituut is very grateful for the acquisition of the Ton Koopman collection, now integrated into the work of the Resounding Libraries research cluster: https://orpheusinstituut.be/en/projects/resounding-libraries --- References:
