Autorenporträt

CHARLES MEDLAM studied the cello in London, Paris, Vienna and Salzburg before becoming interested in the bass viol and early performing styles. After a year lecturing and playing in the resident string quartet at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, he returned to Europe and studied with Maurice Gendron at the Paris Conservatoire, with Wolfang Herzer in Vienna, and performance practice with Nikolaus Harnoncourt in Salzburg. After graduating with distinction from the Mozarteum, he pursued his interest in the bass viol on frequent courses with Wieland Kuijken. He founded London Baroque with Ingrid Seifert in 1978, since when the group has performed over 2500 concerts world-wide and recorded some 70 CDs. His special interest in the solo bass viol suite led to the release of a CD called 'Fleur de Lys' for Cello Classics, released in 2010. 'Approaches to the Bach Cello Suites', which first appeared in 2012, is now published in a third, revised, edition.
