Aspects of Authenticity
From Printed Page to Performance by Professor Christopher Hogwood. When so much in music education is formulated on the principle of imitation, and the passing down of received 'traditions' from teacher to pupil, it is important to readdress the significance of original and informed opinion in performance.
Dame Emma Kirkby, who has done more than any other musician of our generation to reassess the vocal approach to earlier music will discuss with the Lecturer her approach to singing, teaching, recording and performing and the effect her performances have had on singing world-wide over the last forty years.
The lecture is illustrated by live examples taken from Renaissance lute songs and other repertoire.
