Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643)

Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643)

Donald Macleod surveys the life of Girolamo Frescobaldi and the musical spectacle of Rome

Girolamo Frescobaldi established the keyboard style that would dominate Europe in the Baroque era. His life throws a light on the nepotism and patronage at the heart of Italy in the 17th century, and how it created extraordinary music and spectacle.... breaking the bank in the process. Donald Macleod and his guest Robert Quinney, Director of the Choir of New College, Oxford, explore Frescobaldi's story alongside some of the other great musicians of his time, who fell into his orbit.
