About this lecture
Bringing the past to the present: that is the wish of many early music pioneers and musicians of today. The best-known example: Mendelssohn's first performance of Bach's St Matthew Passion, transforming the work into a nineteenth-century oratorio, suitable for nineteenth-century ears. How can we make music from the past accessible to today's audiences?
