Devon Baroque
Music from The English Provinces
Celebrating lesser known English composers
Featuring Andrew Wilson-Dickson (harpsichord) and Persephone Gibbs (violin)

Harpsichord soloist and Artistic Director Andrew Wilson-Dickson says this:
"Handel's music, excellent though it is, is not the only way to put English music on the 18th-century map. So here are a number of fine composers making their music outside London: Mudge (Birmingham), Avison (Newcastle) and Hellendaal (Cambridge), each with their individual sound. The outlier is Walter Leigh, a 20th-century voice from London, whose delightful music owes much to the style of the 18th century."
Handel: Concerto Grosso op 6 no 11 in A
Richard Mudge: Concerto no 2 in D minor
Walter Leigh: Concertino for harpsichord and strings (1937)
Domenico Scarlatti: Sonatas K31 and K7 (harpsichord solo)
Charles Avison: Concerto Grosso no 9 in C (1744) after Domenico Scarlatti
Pieter Hellendaal: Concerto Grosso Op 3 No 2 in D minor
