Description
"Between 1939 and 1989 the recorder virtuoso Carl Dolmetsch gave 45 concerts at the Wigmore Hall in London, all but a few with harpsichordist Joseph Saxby. The highlight of these concerts was the performance of a specially commissioned work. Many important 20th-century composers contributed to this corpus of works, including Lennox Berkeley, York Bowen, Arnold Cooke, Gordon Jacob and Edmund Rubbra. This book is the first to explore this repertoire in depth."--BOOK JACKET.
First Sentence
As discussed in the previous chapter, although rapid progress was made in the revival of the recorder during the first quarter of the twentieth century, this was almost entirely in the context of its being a historical instrument.
