This time I have Bruce Burchmore on the phone. Bruce is a Pilates instructor in Los Angeles. He is also writer, producer, director of a documentary called Harpsichordia. From his website: Bruce Burchmore developed an enduring fascination of the harpsichord repertoire as a graduate student in musicology and early plucked strings performance. His main interest was the 17th- and early 18th-century French repertoires for lute, theorbo and Baroque guitar, and quickly found that a strong knowledge of the contemporary harpsichord schools augmented his expertise in French Baroque music in general. He has several published articles in the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (2nd. ed.), and is in the process of finalizing a study of the Saizenay manuscripts for solo lute and theorbo, accompanied by a complete modern edition with critical apparatus.
We talk about the adventures of making a documentary and so much more.
