TREVOR PINNOCK Conductor | Harpsichord Trevor Pinnock is renowned world-wide as a harpsichordist and conductor who pioneered the modern revival of early music performance. Whilst still a scholar at the Royal College of Music, he joined with flautist Stephen Preston and cellist Anthony Pleeth to form the Galliard Harpsichord Trio which gave regular concerts in music clubs and at London’s Purcell Room. In 1972 he founded the English Concert whose reputation for ground-breaking performances on period instruments led to an extensive contract with Deutsche Grammophon Archive Produktion and world-wide tours which included major orchestral works of Bach, Handel, Mozart, Haydn and others, along with choral projects and chamber music. In addition, Pinnock recorded solo works including Bach’s Goldberg Variations and Partitas. He remained Artistic Director of the English Concert until 2003 and since that time he has divided his work between conducting, solo and chamber music engagements and educational projects at the Royal Academy of Music where he is Principal Guest Conductor of the Concert Orchestra. He regularly works with the Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest Amsterdam, the Deutsche Kammerphiharmonie Bremen and the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg. Frequent chamber music partners include flautist Emmanuel Pahud, viola da gamba player Jonathan Manson and violinists Sophie Gent and Matthew Truscott. In 2019 he will direct Bach’s St Matthew Passion at the Royal Academy and also at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, where he was formerly music director, and in Scotland with the Dunedin Consort. At the Sanssouci Palace, Potsdam, he conducts Frederic Wake-Walker’s production of La Clemenza di Tito will tour Messiah with Freiburger Barockorchester. Recent recordings include Louis Couperin’s solo harpsichord works, a recital programme ‘Journey -200 years of harpsichord music’, CPE Bach Flute Concertos with Emmanuel Pahud, and Mozart and Haydn with the Royal Academy of Music Soloists. Trevor Pinnock was awarded a CBE in 1992 and an Officier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 1998. He is also a recipient of the Wigmore Medal, the York Early Music Centre Lifetime Achievement Award and honorary doctorates from the universities of London, Ottawa, Sheffield and Canterbury.

The English Concert – Biography
The English Concert – Biography The English Concert is one of Europe’s leading chamber orchestras specialising in historically informed performance. Created by Trevor Pinnock in 1973, the orchestra appointed Harry Bicket as its Artistic Director in 2007. Bicket is renowned for his work with singers and vocal collaborators, including in recent seasons Lucy Crowe, Elizabeth Watts, Sarah Connolly, Joyce DiDonato, Alice Coote and Iestyn Davies. The English Concert has a wide touring brief and the 2014-15 season will see them appear both across the UK and abroad. Recent highlights include European and US tours with Alice Coote, Joyce DiDonato, David Daniels and Andreas Scholl as well as the orchestra’s first tour to mainland China. Harry Bicket directed The English Concert and Choir in Bach’s Mass in B Minor at the 2012 Leipzig Bachfest and later that year at the BBC proms, a performance that was televised for BBC4. Following the success of Handel’s Radamisto in New York 2013, Carnegie Hall has commissioned one Handel opera each season from The English Concert. Theodora followed in early 2014, which toured West Coast of the USA as well as the Théâtre des Champs Elysées Paris and the Barbican London followed by a critically acclaimed tour of Alcina in October 2014. Future seasons will see performances of Handel’s Hercules and Orlando. The English Concert’s discography includes more than 100 recordings with Trevor Pinnock for Deutsche Grammophon Archiv, and a series of critically acclaimed CDs for Harmonia Mundi with violinist Andrew Manze. Recordings with Harry Bicket have been widely praised, including Lucy Crowe’s debut solo recital, Il caro Sassone.

Decca Discography
DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>V VIENNA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, etc. The Vienna Philharmonic was the jewel in Decca’s crown, particularly from 1956 when the engineers adopted the Sofiensaal as their favoured studio. The contract with the orchestra was secured partly by cultivating various chamber ensembles drawn from its membership. Vienna was favoured for symphonic cycles, particularly in the mid-1960s, and for German opera and operetta, including Strausses of all varieties and Solti’s “Ring” (1958-65), as well as Mackerras’s Janá ček (1976-82). Karajan recorded intermittently for Decca with the VPO from 1959-78. But apart from the New Year concerts, resumed in 2008, recording with the VPO ceased in 1998. Outside the capital there were various sessions in Salzburg from 1984-99. Germany was largely left to Decca’s partner Telefunken, though it was so overshadowed by Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Electrola that few of its products were marketed in the UK, with even those soon relegated to a cheap label. It later signed Harnoncourt and eventually became part of the competition, joining Warner Classics in 1990. Decca did venture to Bayreuth in 1951, ’53 and ’55 but wrecking tactics by Walter Legge blocked the release of several recordings for half a century. The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra’s sessions moved from Geneva to its home town in 1963 and continued there until 1985. The exiled Philharmonia Hungarica recorded in West Germany from 1969-75. There were a few engagements with the Bavarian Radio in Munich from 1977- 82, but the first substantial contract with a German symphony orchestra did not come until 1982.

ARIA the Newsletter of the Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation
ARIA The newsletter of the Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation Welcome to the 15th edition of ‘Aria’ - the newsletter of the Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation. Dame Kiri comments ….. Now in the month of July and summer has definitely arrived. I have recently had three days here at the house with some intense work with Phillip Rhodes along with my very good friend and colleague Robin Stapleton. Phillip’s progress goes from strength to strength and now he is finding more subtle sounds in his technique. His voice is impressive and he works extremely hard on all areas. he learns well and I always hope his dreams will be right around the corner. A few months ago I visited Dennis O’Neill’s school (Cardiff International Academy of Voice) and listened to most of his singers. Once again they are all working very hard and I did hear some very nice voices - one or two were a little tired as there had been some traveling and concerts in the previous days. Some of the singers were already planning to move to opera houses in Europe in the young singers programmes and this seems to be the normal progress as they go from one opera house to the other gaining experience and languages. Dennis’ Academy is more of a finishing school and not one to come to unless your next move is to auditions or one of the international young people’s programmes. Sadly I was not able to attend the Lexus Song Quest last year. I heard such good reports as the competition seemed to have a lot of very positive input.
