Roderick Swanston asks nine leading practitioners of early music to put away their treatises and reveal the personal element in their music-making. 4: Philip Pickett 's exuberance in concert and on record reflects his origins as a brass player - "We like a good blow!" he explains. But now he's as keen to put across the forgotten, almost alien world view that underpinned music from the Middle Ages to the Baroque. With excerpts from
