Alan Curtis
Harpsichordist, musicologist, and Baroque opera conductor -- via Gramophone. He was absolutely dedicated to his craft, illuminating the stage work of Handel, Gluck and many others. He also commissioned the building of the first modern copy of a chittarone and the first chromatic harpsichord built in the 20th century. Hardcore.
