Trevor Pinnock (harpsichord)About
Success in their respective careers led both Pinnock and Cabezón to travel widely; Cabezón’s journeys through Europe resulted in meetings with several of the composers included in this programme. Pinnock performs repertoire spanning two hundred years (encompassing works by Tallis, Byrd, Bull, Sweelinck, Bach, Frescobaldi, Handel and Scarlatti) on his favourite home instrument, a harpsichord made in 1982 after a model by the mid eighteenth-century French builder, Henri Hemsch.
Pinnock’s own journey has seen him recognized as one of the finest players of his generation, receiving many prizes and international recognition along the way whilst amassing an exceptional discography; his truly is an epic journey.
Trevor Pinnock is known worldwide as a harpsichordist and conductor who pioneered performance on historical instruments with The English Concert, the orchestra he founded and led for thirty years. In 2006 Pinnock founded the European Brandenburg Ensemble to celebrate his sixtieth birthday. Their recording of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos was awarded a 2008 Gramophone Award.
As a solo harpsichordist Pinnock has recorded Bach’s Partitas and Toccatas, and Handel’s Suites for harpsichord. An important part of Pinnock’s work is with students of the Royal Academy of Music, whom he conducts in concert and opera. With the RAM Soloists Ensemble he has recorded three albums for Linn.
‘Pinnock's prime virtues as a harpsichordist are his fluid technique and fine sensibility.’ - New York Times
‘Full-time harpsichordists would sell their souls to match the elegant turns, firmly centered contrapuntal playing, and inhumanly even trills Pinnock commands with little surface effort.’ - Classics Today
