Biography
A pupil of Raymond Leppard, Christopher Hogwood (1941-2014) specialized in Baroque music when he founded the Early Music Consort (1967), then the Academy of Ancient Music (1973), promoting performances on period instruments ten years before this became fashionable. A world-renowned harpsichordist, conductor and musicologist (specializing in Handel), his repertoire spans the Baroque, Romantic and contemporary periods. Honorary director of several American and European orchestras (the Berlin Opera, La Scala in Milan, the Royal Opera House in London), he has made over two hundred recordings, including complete cycles of Mozart and Haydn symphonies, operas by Mozart(Idomeneo, Titus Clementia, Don Giovanni), Handel(Messiah, Acis and Galatea), Purcell(Dido and Aeneas), and other works by Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Stravinsky, Hindemith and Bohuslav Martinû. Christopher Hogwood, who passed away on September 24, 2014, has left an indelible mark on twentieth-century musical interpretation.
