Arnaud Van de Cauter

**Arnaud Van de Cauter** is a Belgian organist and musicologist with a passion for reviving early keyboard music, particularly from the Baroque and Renaissance eras. Known for his meticulous approach to historical performance practices, Van de Cauter specializes in interpreting works by lesser-known composers like Dieterich Buxtehude and Peeter Cornet, blending technical precision with a deep appreciation for the expressive nuances of period instruments. His recent recordings—including explorations of Buxtehude’s intricate *Präludium, Fuga und Chaconne* and Cornet’s organ works—highlight his commitment to unearthing hidden gems of the repertoire, often performed on meticulously restored historical organs.

A champion of early music’s rich heritage, Van de Cauter balances his performance career with scholarly research, contributing to the preservation and contextual understanding of these compositions. Whether he’s bringing Cornet’s inventive *Orgelwerken* to life or delving into Buxtehude’s complex structures, his work bridges the gap between academic rigor and accessible artistry, making centuries-old music feel fresh and relevant for modern audiences.
