Academy of Ancient Music at Savannah Music Festival
Richard Egarr and the Academy of Ancient Music performed using a German double manual harpsichord after Vater I completed late in 2009. Tuning for rehearsal and concert by myself, in Vallotti as requested, including a touchup during perhaps the noisiest intermission I’ve ever encountered!
They performed all 6 Brandenburgs in an incredibly smoking performance. They loved Savannah and Savannah loved them.
