Coming up this Saturday on the Early Music Show, one of my favorites, Christopher Hogwood, founder of the historically-informed performance ensmble, the Academy of Ancient Music:

"Catherine Bott talks to distinguished conductor, keyboardist and musicologist Christopher Hogwood about his career as one of the major proponents of the early music movement. Included in their discussion is Christopher's early work with David Munrow in the Early Music Consort of London as well as the orchestra he founded in 1973, the Academy of Ancient Music, of which he is Emeritus Director.

The music featured is from his celebrated collection of recordings, including a work from Byrd's My Ladye Nevell's Booke, vocal music by Purcell, a keyboard fantasia by CPE Bach and part of Handel's opera Rinaldo."
