Biography
Paul Nicholson’s musical career has ranged from employment at the Britten-Pears School for Advanced Musical Studies – where he coached and accompanied alongside its co-founder, Peter Pears – to solo performance, and recording and directing with groups such as the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. His recordings for Hyperion have included Handel’s Organ Concertos (directed by Roy Goodman), and his Eight Harpsichord Suites of 1720 – this has been the reviewer’s choice in BBC Radio 3’s ‘Building a Library’. He is also an Anglican Priest – now retired from parish ministry – and is increasingly returning to chamber music with piano.
