About this artist
Dutch organist, harpsichordist, conductor and pedagogue, (born May 30, 1928 in Graveland, Netherlands - died January 16, 2012 at the age of 83).
Renowned mostly for his Bach interpretations as harpsichordist or with his ensembles, the Leonhardt Baroque Ensemble and the Leonhardt-Consort.

In 1971 Gustav Leonhardt and Nikolaus Harnoncourt jointly undertook a project, completed in 1990, to record all Bach’s sacred cantatas.
