Self-proclaimed 'music addict', Richard Egarr, continues his journey along the time-line of the harpsichord. In episode two, he delights in some of the greatest music written for the instrument. From Girolamo Frescobaldi to (as he describes it) the ‘bonkers’ music of Dario Castello, Richard traces the golden age of the harpsichord along with selections from Couperin, Handel, Bach and Mozart.
