The English Concert
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, July 12, 2020 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
The English Concert was founded in 1972 by harpsichordist Trevor Pinnock among others. They were one of the first orchestras devoted to baroque music played on period instruments. They are also one of the most renowned early music aggregations with a number of notable alumni including Simon Standage, Rachel Podger, and Jaap ter Linden. In their nearly 50 years they've recorded a number of notable albums, some of which we hear this week.
