Catherine Bott talks to distinguished conductor, keyboardist and musicologist Christopher Hogwood about his career as one of the major proponents of the early music movement.

The music featured is from his celebrated collection of recordings, including a work from Byrd's My Ladye Nevell's Booke, vocal music by Purcell, a keyboard fantasia by CPE Bach and part of Handel's opera Rinaldo.
