Harpsichords in the spotlight. The Dunedin Consort play Bach with John Butt and friends.

Harpsichords in the spotlight with John Butt, the Dunedin Consort and friends, live from the Queen's Hall in Edinburgh.

Live from the Edinburgh International Festival the Dunedin Consort is joined by music director John Butt on harpsichord for a selection of Bach’s iconic work for keyboards.  Joining them are three further leading harpsichord players; Richard Egarr, Diego Ares and Thomas Foster for performances of Bach’s concertos for three and four harpsichords alongside his lively Brandenburg Concerto No 5 and his Italian Concerto, which forced one critic to admit it ‘is to be regarded as a perfect model’. Presented by Kate Molleson.
