As part of 'Art and Early Music Month', Lucie Skeaping presents two programmes on BBC Radio 3 that highlight music and people from the Oxford Music Faculty.
Next Saturday (7 March) the Early Music Show on BBC Radio 3 celebrates musical instruments as artistic objects in their own right. Lucie Skeaping visits the Bate Collection of Historical Instruments and is shown some of the most interesting exhibits by the Acting Curator, Andy Lamb. The music features recordings of specific instruments found in the Collection, including a 17th-century recorder, played by Peter Holtslag, and a beautiful English harpsichord, on which Martin Souter plays music by Purcell.
The history of the viol consort Phantasm (photo left: Coneyl Jay), Consort-in-Residence at the University, directed by Professor Laurence Dreyfus (Magdalen), is also shortly to be featured on the Early Music Show . The programme will be aired on Saturday 28 March at 13.00. Lucie Skeaping and Laurence Dreyfus discuss the founding of the group, its membership, and its developing artistic and interpretative ethos over the years, as well as playing numerous tracks from Phantasm albums issued since 1996.
Both programmes can be heard for a week after their broadcast via the BBC iPlayer.
