Orpheus Britannicus
Today's programme pays tribute to a man whose talents as a musicologist, teacher and performer combined to make him perhaps the strongest single influence in the emergence of today's early-music scene: Thurston Dart. who died on 6 March
1971. Dart himself can be heard both as broadcaster and performer; and his lasting influence on a younger generation of performers is evident in ANDREW PARROTT S introduction to his new s of Bach's BrandenburgConcertos. He takes as his starting point Thurston Dart 's characteristically iconoclastic theories of the early 60s.
