The foundations of the early music movement were laid by Arnold Dolmetsch, the French-English pioneer who, around 1900, rekindled the longing for the past in all its intensity. His ensemble concerts on period instruments heralded the definitive revival of the gamba, lute and harpsichord. Skip Sempé navigates Capriccio Stravagante through a programme that could have been Dolmetsch's own, with music by William Byrd, Orlando Gibbons and Thomas Tomkins.
