"Roy Goodman's enthusiasm never fails to inspire and energise those in front of him". This week's Artist of the Week on Classical Collection is the early music specialist Roy Goodman who turned sixty in January. The Englishman is well known for his work as founder of the Brandenburg Consort, co-founder of The Parley of Instruments and, for twelve years, as Principal Conductor of the Hanover Band. Success came early, when at just twelve, Goodman achieved international fame with King's College Choir as the boy soloist in Allegri's Miserere [in Wednesday's programme]. He went on to become one of Europe's leading first violinists or concertmasters, playing under leading conductors from Frans Bruggen to Sir Simon Rattle. As what has been called "probably the most active independent freelance conductor in Europe", Goodman has made over 120 recordings and today's performances showcase some of his strongest period-instrument work: a full of character reading of Haydn's Le Matin symphony and an excitingly brisk interpretation of Bach's fifth Brandenburg Concerto.
