Pioneers of the Early Music Movement
The modem interest in period instruments and "Early Music" began to gather pace in the 1950s. But, long before that, musicians were making recordings on harpsichords and viols and exploring music generally known only from the history books.
Robert Philip introduces recordings by some of these pioneers, including Nadia Boulanger , Arnold Dolmetsch and his family, and the harpsichordists
Violet Gordon Woodhouse and Wanda Landowska. Producer Patrick Lambert
