Biography
The London Classical Players (LCP), a British orchestra founded in 1978 by Sir Roger Norrington, specialized in historically informed performance practices and orchestral performances on period instruments. The ensemble featured John Holloway as concertmaster from 1978 to 1992. The LCP made numerous recordings for EMI Classics and shared personnel overlap with other major HIP ensembles such as the Academy of Ancient Music and the English Concert. Notable concert series included The Beethoven Experience in 1987 and The Berlioz Experience in 1988. In 1996, they were invited to open the Prague Spring Festival with BedÅich Smetanaâs Má vlast. The orchestra dissolved in 1997, with its work absorbed into the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
