Performers:
Gary Cooper (harpsichord)

Gary Cooper is a multi-talented musician, equally adept at both harpsichord and fortepiano performance, as well as conducting. His keyboard performances follow strict historic practices and while he is identified with Baroque music, particularly the works of J.S. Bach, Cooper is also known for his incisive Beethoven interpretations. But his repertory encompasses far more than these two composers and the considerable bridge between them: indeed, Cooper has delved into music reaching back to the Renaissance era and extending up through the works of Schubert and Mendelssohn. He has appeared as soloist throughout England, Europe, and the Americas, and often performs in a duo with violinist Rachel Podger. He has also partnered baritone Peter Harvey in an acclaimed recording of Schubert's Die Winterreise and has conducted an array of ensembles, including the Irish Baroque Orchestra, Akademie für Alte Musik, Holland Baroque Society, and the group with which he serves as artistic director, the Belgian-based B'Rock. With the latter ensemble, he has led both orchestral and operatic performances. Cooper has made numerous recordings for many labels, including Channel Classics, Naxos, and Hyperion.
