In 1995 the Orchestra of the Golden Age made its critically acclaimed début recording of music by Henry Purcell for Naxos. This marked the rapid development of the ensemble, since its first concerts in 1992. Based in Manchester, it was formed by the cellist Robert Glenton to bring performance on original instruments to a wider audience and quickly established a reputation for itself beyond the boundaries of its hometown. The orchestra has recorded for the BBC and appeared at the Flanders Early Music Festival, part of a schedule that brings other possible further acquisitions to augment the orchestra’s existing collection of original instruments.
