Catherine Bott & Christopher Hogwood: EMS 14 Decmber

[doversoul1]

Still almost two weeks to wait but this will be good;

A special repeat of Catherine Bott's interview with the distinguished conductor, keyboardist and musicologist, Christopher Hogwood, who died earlier this year. Catherine chats to him about his career as one of the major proponents of the early music movement, including Christopher's early work with David Munrow in the Early Music Consort of London and the orchestra he founded in 1973 - The Academy of Ancient Music. The music on the programme comes from his choice of some of his own favourite recordings, including a work from Byrd's My Ladye Nevells Booke, vocal music by Purcell, a keyboard fantasia by CPE Bach and part of Handel's opera Rinaldo.

Thanks for flagging this up, ds.

I still can't believe poor Christopher is no longer with us.

Agreed...but won't it be nice to hear the dulcet tones of Botty on the Beeb again?

I still can't believe poor Christopher is no longer with us.

I feel exactly the same, Alison - it hasn't sunk in with me yet and the AAM will never be quite the same without him.

Thanks DS! Will look out! fitting tribute.

Lovely programme; a poignant tribute to CH, and R3 at its civilised best. I loved the 'cooking' metaphor for the approach to interpreting early music.

Very very good....thankyou all....

[MickyD]

A fine programme, well worth hearing again.
