Leonhardt, Gustav

    0.02 sec.

Leonhardt, Gustav (1928– )

Dutch harpsichordist and conductor. He founded the Leonhardt Consort in 1955, and has made frequent tours of Europe and the USA, performing a wide range of early keyboard music and conducting baroque opera and choral music.

He studied in Basel, Switzerland, and made his debut in Vienna, Austria, in 1950 with a solo performance of The Art of Fugue. He appeared as Johann Sebastian Bach in the film The Chronicles of Anna Magdalena Bach (1967) and conducted Monteverdi's Poppea in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in 1972. He has edited most of Jan Sweelinck's keyboard works and has made many recordings, including two performances of the Goldberg Variations by Johann Sebastian Bach.
