- English harpsichordist, musicologist, and founder and conductor of the Academy of Ancient Music.
- His first positions were as a keyboard player and musicologist with the Academy of Saint Martin-in-the-Fields under Neville Marriner. He was a founding member of the Early Music Consort of London.
- Every piece of music should be looked at as a painting that dissolved off the wall when you closed the gallery door. If all the colors dripped down into a huge pot and you took this pot, along with a recipe of how to reassemble the colors back into Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers,' you would be very careful to get all the reds and the yellows in the right places, and not to paint it bigger or smaller than it was. I think music carries with it this responsibility. [1985]
