Description

Apollo E Dafne on CD

Beyond it's musical riches, this medley of 1950s BBC radio broadcasts (from the Richard Itter Collection) opens a portal on England's post-war Handelian revival. It is no accident that all these performances involve Thurston Dart, as harpsichordist, conductor or musicologist. His energy inspired a generation of musicians to explore neglected works by Handel and a host of other baroque composers, in a lithe chamber style more appropriate to their work than the heavyweight, orchestral grandeur favoured by previous generations. The efforts of Dart and other performers featured here paved the way for those more radical, 'historically informed' performance practices, which swept all before them in later decades.
