The opening Ciaconna, arranged by Debus and McCartney, is after Antonio Bertalli, Tarquinio Merula, and Claudio Monteverdi. And after that we get music by Germans (Handel), Italians (Pietro Castrucci, Alessandro Marcello (with ornaments by Bach), Arcangelo Corelli, Andrea Falconierei), Frenchmen (Marin Marais, Pierre-Francisque Carroubel), a Spaniard (Antonio Soler), Englishmen (Henry Purcell, John Dowland), plus a Scots folk-tune arranged by an Italian composer, Francesco Geminiani for an English collection, and a couple of anons, not forgetting the two contemporary pieces.

The violinist and festival director tells us about her musical interests and inspirations, from Corelli to Castrucci, and Bach to Bob MarleyWhat was the first record you bought?
