Richard Egarr (harpsichord)

In his latest solo recital for harmonia mundi, Richard Egarr turns to the rarely heard harpsichord Suites by Henry Purcell. In his beautifully shaped reading, these eight muscular and quirky works, published the year after Purcell's death, are interspersed with seven shorter pieces built on a recurring pattern - a chaconne, a rondeau, and five 'grounds'. Richard Egarr has worked with all types of keyboards and is in great demand both as soloist and as accompanist. His collaboration with long-time duo partner Andrew Manze has been setting new performance standards since 1984. He is music director of the Academy of Ancient Music, and they recently recorded Handel's Organ Concertos Op.4 together, nominated for a Gramophone Award 2008. Handel Concerti Grossi Op. 3 won the Baroque Award in 2007.

Henry Purcell, has enjoyed enduring fame whereas his brother Daniel has been completely eclipsed over the course of the centuries. However, Daniel was also a successful composer in his day.

“Until recently, I was unaware that England’s greatest native composer, Henry Purcell, had a younger brother who also wrote music……..the trio Ensemble Meiolanum (with the excellent Wiebke Weidanz on harpsichord) play together like a well-oiled machine.” Classic FM Magazine July 2008
