Brecon Baroque was founded in 2007 by violinist Rachel Podger as resident ensemble at her annual Brecon Baroque Festival. The group s international line-up consists of some of some of the leading lights in the period-instrument world, such as cellist Alison McGillivray, flautist Katie Bircher, oboist Alexandra Bellamy and violist Jane Rogers, as well as some of Rachel s star former students who now occupy leading positions in many of Europe s finest ensembles. For their debut recording, Brecon Baroque accompanies Podger in a selection of concertos by JS Bach. Future recording plans include Bach s Art of Fugue and Telemann s Tafelmusik.
