Flemish composer and harpsichordist Johan Huys (*1942) was president of the competition at the MA Festival Bruges for almost forty years. He also composed several pieces for harpsichord for this world-famous competition. His former student Guy Penson has recorded some of his teacher's harpsichord works for this new recording on PASSACAILLE. The Belgian harpsichordist, Guy Penson, studied at the Royal Conservatory of Ghent. He is a laureate of several international competitions including the Musica Antiqua Competition in Bruges in 1980. Since finishing his studies, Guy Penson has gained an impressive reputation in Belgium and abroad. He has appeared as a guest-artist at the most important European festivals (France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Hungary, Romania, Russia, Scandinavia), as well as in Canada and South America. As a harpsichordist he performs regularly in solo recitals, and in collaboration with many renowned orchestras.
