	Radio National - The Music Show 16/07/2005
		Trevor Pinnock: Well it’s a team effort, everything’s a team effort, and so sometimes I play with a role, and sometimes that will be covered by a lute or by the second harpsichord, or sometimes we’re playing all together.
		Trevor Pinnock: Well because not all of them did, but for others, they found it very exciting indeed, and principally, I would guess, because some of the best singers were Italian, and they were Italian imports, and so they were seeing real stars.
		Trevor Pinnock: Well basically it is a lighter sound, but the advantage of those old instruments is that you can play them absolutely to their maximum without the music getting thick and heavy.

	classical music - andante - as much finesse as ever, with a wider range - trevor pinnock in a solo harpsichord recital
		Pinnock emphasised its variety by imbuing the grace notes of its Sarabande with a delectably lazy rubato, and switching to the dry rattle of the harpsichord's buff stop to characterise the naughty cross-rhythm of the Tempo di Minuetto.
		Here, Pinnock's bright precision in the filigree figuration of "Le rappel des oiseaux" for once justified the cliche "spine-tingling", while his drone-bassed "Musette" sounded as drugged with noonday heat as his rustic "Tambourin" was stampingly vigorous.

		This is not so much a problem with performances of Mozart's chamber music however, as there are fewer instruments to crowd the scene, and each musician retains greater control over the sustainment of each note.
		Unquestionably, these 'period' performances by Trevor Pinnock are the best renditions I have heard of Mozart's symphonies.
		The English Concert Orchestra under Pinnock is known for its excellence, and here they have not let us down.
