Harpsichord music on the radio

The harpsichord is a keyboard instrument that was widely used in Baroque music from the 16th to the 18th centuries. The instrument produces sound by plucking strings with a quill mechanism, rather than using hammers like a piano. It has a unique sound that is characterized by its bright and percussive quality, and its ability to play fast, intricate passages.

Some of the most popular harpsichord artists include Gustav Leonhardt, Scott Ross, and Trevor Pinnock. Gustav Leonhardt was a Dutch harpsichordist and conductor who was known for his historically-informed performances of Baroque music. Scott Ross was an American-born French harpsichordist who was known for his virtuosic performances and his recordings of Scarlatti's sonatas. Trevor Pinnock is a British harpsichordist and conductor who has recorded extensively with his ensemble, The English Concert.

There are several radio stations that specialize in harpsichord music. Some of the most notable include Radio Clásica, which is a Spanish radio station that features classical music, including harpsichord music. BBC Radio 3 is a British radio station that also features classical music, including performances on the harpsichord. Finally, the online radio station Harpsichord Music Radio streams music exclusively on the harpsichord, ranging from Baroque to contemporary compositions.
