Trevor David Pinnock
CBE
(born 16 December 1946 in
Canterbury
,
England
) is a British
harpsichordist
and
conductor
.
He is best known for his association with the
period-performance

baroque
and
classical
music. He is a former artistic director of Canada's
National Arts Centre Orchestra
and founded The Classical Band in New York.

conservatoires
. Trevor Pinnock won a
Gramophone Award
for his recording of Bach's
Brandenburg Concertos
with the European Brandenburg Ensemble, an occasional orchestra formed to mark his 60th birthday.
Biography and career
[
edit

Early life
[
edit
]
Trevor Pinnock was born in
Canterbury
, where his grandfather had run a
Salvation Army
band. His father was Kenneth Alfred Thomas Pinnock, a
publisher
, and his mother, Joyce Edith, nee Muggleton, was an amateur singer.
[1]
[2]
In Canterbury, the Pinnock family lived near the pianist
Ronald Smith
, from whose sister Pinnock had piano lessons. He became a chorister at
Canterbury Cathedral
when he was seven, attending the choir school from 1956 to 1961 and subsequently
Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys
.
[1]
[3]
After receiving instruction in piano and
organ
, he served as a church organist; by the time he was 15, he began to play the harpsichord.
[2]
At age 19, he won a Foundation Scholarship to the
Royal College of Music
to study organ and he also studied
harpsichord
, winning prizes for performance on both instruments.
[1]
[4]
His teachers were
Ralph Downes
and
Millicent Silver
.
[5]
A strong early influence was
Gustav Leonhardt
, though he did not study with him.
[4]
Instrumentalist
[
edit
]
As a harpsichordist, Pinnock toured Europe with the
Academy of St. Martin in the Fields
.
[6]
While a student at the RCM, he was told by the registrar, John Stainer, that it would be impossible to make a living as a
harpsichordist
.
[4]
He made his
London
debut at the
Royal Festival Hall
in 1966 with the Galliard Harpsichord Trio, which he co-founded with
Stephen Preston
, flute, and
Anthony Pleeth
, cello. At this stage, they were playing baroque music on modern instruments.
[4]
His solo harpsichord debut was in 1968 at the
Purcell Room
in London.
[7]
To maximise his possibilities for work early on in his career, he included in his repertoire not only the regular baroque repertoire, but also modern
harpsichord concertos
, including
Roberto Gerhard
's concerto for harpsichord, percussion and strings,
Manuel de Falla
's concerto for harpsichord,
Frank Martin
's
Petite symphonie concertante
for harp, harpsichord, piano and double string orchestra and
Francis Poulenc
's
Concert Champetre
.
[5]
[8]
Pinnock and
Maxim Vengerov
toured together in 2000, with Vengerov taking up the
baroque violin
for the first time and Pinnock taking up the modern
grand piano
. These concerts consisted of a first half of harpsichord and baroque violin, followed by a second half of piano and modern violin.
[9]
[10]
The English Concert
[
edit
]
In November 1972 the Galliard Trio expanded to become
The English Concert
, an orchestra specialising in performances of
baroque
and
classical
music on
period instruments
.
[4]
[11]
The orchestra initially started with seven members but soon grew in size. The decision to move to
period performance
was taken for a number of reasons:
[12]
What I really had in mind was a journey of discovery into the unknown. Although I felt there were excellent interpretations of baroque music performed on modern instruments, I sensed that we'd come to the end of the road ? and yet I knew that there were still discoveries to be made. I was thinking about the interesting experiments made by
Nikolaus Harnoncourt
and Gustav Leonhardt, although I knew we'd have to experiment in our own way. It was a huge challenge; playing period instruments wasn't as easy as it is today, and finding out their secrets was a difficult process. Nowadays an extraordinarily high technical level has been achieved and the upcoming generations don't have any of the problems we pioneers faced. We cleared the way.
Pinnock was at the forefront of the period performance movement and the revitalisation of the baroque repertoire; the reaction of
Leonard Bernstein
to his performances is typical: "In my opinion, the work of the conductor Trevor Pinnock in this area is particularly exciting ? his performances of Bach and Handel make me jump out of my seat!"
[13]
The English Concert's London debut was at the English Bach Festival in 1973.
[14]
In 1975, Pinnock played the harpsichord in the first-ever performance of
Rameau
's last opera,
Les Boreades
, under
John Eliot Gardiner
.
[15]
He toured North America with The English Concert for the first time in 1983; he had earlier spent two periods as
Artist in Residence
at
Washington University in St. Louis
.
[5]
His debut at
The Proms
was in 1980; he later directed
Handel
's oratorio
Solomon
in 1986 and many other large-scale works with his orchestra.
[6]
They toured worldwide and made numerous recordings, Pinnock directing "with a characteristic energy and enthusiasm which are readily communicated to audiences."
[14]
The Choir of the English Concert was at first an ad-hoc group of singers assembled as needed, originally in 1983 for the first 20th-century performance of
Rameau
's
Acante et Cephise
; it became an established choir for a period from the mid-1990s at the time they were performing Bach's
Mass in B minor
. This allowed the ensemble to regularly perform
baroque operas
,
oratorios
and other vocal works; a series of Bach's major choral works followed.
[16]
He directed The English Concert, usually from the harpsichord or
chamber organ
,
[17]
for over 30 years, deciding, with the other orchestra members, to hand it over to violinist
Andrew Manze
in 2003.
[12]
[18]
He explained the decision as follows:
[19]
There are other things I want to develop ? or rather come back to. Having done The English Concert for 18?20 weeks per year, and guest conducting the rest of the time, I'd sacrificed playing the harpsichord rather more than I wanted to. I had to make a decision to move forward: there were certain solo projects I wanted to do, and I wanted to make the decision now rather than wait until after I am 60 and it's too late to do half of them. [...] There's a wealth of keyboard repertoire I want to revisit. I especially want to go back to the rich English repertoire such as
Tomkins
,
Byrd
,
Bull
and
Gibbons
.
Other conducting projects
[
edit
]
In 1989 Pinnock founded The Classical Band in New York, signing an 18-disc recording contract with
Deutsche Grammophon
before the ensemble's first rehearsal.
[20]
He led the group in performances of the
classical
and
romantic
repertoire from
Haydn
to
Mendelssohn
on
period instruments
, including playing as
fortepiano
soloist.
[21]
After a disappointing series of concerts, he resigned in 1990 and was succeeded by
Bruno Weil
.
[22]
From 1991 to 1996 he was artistic director and principal conductor of the
National Arts Centre Orchestra
in
Ottawa
, a group he had first directed in 1985.
[23]
He subsequently served as its artistic advisor during the 1996?1997 and 1997?1998 seasons, including a tour of the US with the performance and recording of
Beethoven's
1st
and
5th
piano concertos with
Grigory Sokolov
as soloist.
[24]
He has made occasional return visits to the orchestra since relinquishing his formal position with them.
[23]
Guest conducting
[
edit
]
He has appeared frequently as a guest conductor with many of the world's leading orchestras, including the
Boston
,
City of Birmingham
,
San Francisco
and
Detroit
symphony orchestras
, the
Saint Paul
, Los Angeles and Mito
[25]
chamber orchestras
, the
Freiburger Barockorchester
,
Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra
,
[26]
Mozarteum Orchestra of Salzburg
,
Berlin Philharmoniker
,
Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra
, Austro-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra, the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra
and
London Philharmonic Orchestra
and at the
Tanglewood
,
Mostly Mozart
and
Salzburg
festivals.
[14]
[27]
He is a regular guest conductor of the
Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra
and
Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie
[28]
He made his
Metropolitan Opera
debut in 1988 conducting Handel's opera
Giulio Cesare
, the same year he made his debut at the
Salzburg Festival
with Handel's
Messiah
.
[1]
[6]
He conducted
Opera Australia
and
Michael Chance
in Handel's
Rinaldo
at the
Sydney Opera House
in 2005.
[29]
He also played
William Babell
's virtuoso harpsichord transcriptions with some of the arias (which Babell claimed were of Handel's actual improvisations).
[30]
Recent years
[
edit
]
Since resigning his position with The English Concert, Pinnock has divided his time between performing as a harpsichordist and conducting both modern- and period-instrument orchestras. He has also taken an interest in educational projects.
[27]
In 2004 he commissioned
modern
harpsichord music by English composer
John Webb
, whose
Surge
(2004) "is built up over an implacable rhythmic repeat-figure. Though neither is explicitly tonal, each skilfully avoids the merely percussive effect that the harpsichord's complex overtones can all too easily impart to more densely dissonant music."
[31]
He has also played the same composer's
Ebb
(2000), which "comprises a spasmodic discourse against a manic background of descending scale patterns like a kind of out-of-kilter change-ringing".
[31]
He toured Europe and the Far East in 2007 with the European Brandenburg Ensemble, a
baroque orchestra
, formed to mark his 60th birthday by recording Bach's
Brandenburg Concertos
and performing popular baroque music.
[32]
[33]
[34]
Its recording of the concertos won the
Gramophone Award
for Baroque Instrumental in 2008.
[35]
The band was not a permanent orchestra, but planned to reconvene in 2011 when Bach's
St John Passion
was to be the focus of their work.
[36]
Pinnock's educational work takes place both in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. It includes being principal guest conductor of the
Royal Academy of Music
's Concert Orchestra,
[37]
taking masterclasses or workshops at other British universities,
[38]
and conducting the orchestras of such establishments as
Mozarteum University of Salzburg
and
The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts
.
[27]
He has also taught a handful of harpsichordists including
Lars Ulrik Mortensen
, Nicholas Parle, Carole Cerasi and
Julian Perkins
.
Degrees, honours and awards
[
edit
]
Pinnock gained ARCM Hons (organ) (1965), FRCM (1996), and
Hon. FRAM
(1988).
[7]
His honorary doctorates include those from the
University of Ottawa
(D. University) in 1993,
[39]
the
University of Kent
(DMus) in 1995,
[40]
and the
University of Sheffield
(DMus) in 2005.
[41]
He was appointed a
Commander of the Order of the British Empire
in 1992 and an
Officier
of the French
Ordre des Arts et des Lettres
in 1998.
[1]
Pinnock received three nominations for
Grammy Awards
for his recordings of
Handel
's
Coronation Anthems
(1984),
Vivaldi
's
Gloria
and
Alessandro Scarlatti
's
Dixit Dominus
(1989) and Handel's
Messiah
(1990).
