Performer
Tom Foster, Harpsichord

If you attended The English Concert’s 2018 performance of Handel’s Rinaldo at Carnegie Hall, you won’t forget Tom Foster’s sensational recreation of the composer’s dizzying harpsichord solos. He now turns his considerable talent to the virtuosic keyboard music of Muffat, Zachow, Froberger, Handel, and other German composers. Ornate lines of counterpoint, beautiful melodies, and rhythmic verve characterize this music that is some of the most innovative of its day.
