Understanding Period instruments | The Ophicleide with Marc Girardot

Описание: Marc Girardot, Ophicleidist of Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique, gives us his insights into this fascinating instrument, explaining its history and how it has been used by various composers.

The three Monteverdi ensembles – the Monteverdi Choir, English Baroque Soloists and Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique – are a leading force on the international music scene. World-class musicians and singers from many nationalities come together to share in the distinctive vision of our Artistic Director, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, in ground-breaking projects that span eight centuries of musical masterpieces.

‘They represent British excellence on their tours abroad, and it is a great privilege to be Parton of such wonderful ambassadors for our country.’
