Linda Nicholson is one of the foremost keyboard players specialising in the performance of baroque, classical and early romantic music on instruments of the period. After studying at London University (B.Mus.) and the Royal College of Music (piano with Kendall Taylor, harpsichord with Ruth Dyson) she won the first two international competitions held for the fortepiano, namely the Concours International du Pianoforte in Paris and the Festival of Flanders Competition in Bruges. Since then she has gained an international reputation, performing in major festivals and concert series throughout Europe and the Far East. Her broad repertoire encompasses solo works, chamber music and concertos. Linda is able to offer an unmatched combination of musical experience and historical knowledge of keyboard instruments. She has been fortunate in being in a position to create, together with her husband, one of the major European collections of keyboard instruments ranging from the late sixteenth to the early nineteenth centuries. Direct contact with original instruments by the best makers and in fine playing order has given Linda a unique insight into the particular characteristics and technical demands of each one: her performances are regularly praised not only for their musical integrity but for the beauty and variety of sounds which she is able to conjure out of the keyboard, whether it be harpsichord, clavichord or fortepiano. She uses these instruments, normally only accessible in museum collections, for concerts and recordings, so giving listeners the opportunity of experiencing directly the sound worlds of the great baroque and classical compose.
