Episode description

Kit Armstrong has recorded an album for DG of keyboard music by William Byrd and John Bull, under the title 'The Visionaries of Piano Music'. James Jolly caught up with him to talk about what drew him to a repertoire from over 100 years before Bach, playing music written for virginals on a modern piano and the distinct musical personalities of these two great composers.

Gramophone Podcasts are presented in association with Wigmore Hall, where having streamed more than 200 concerts over the past year, the venue's doors are once again open.
