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.

Astonishingly, the Six Partitas for Clavier were the first works Bach published – after more than twenty years of composing. 'Opus 1' (as he called it) was 'offered to music lovers in order to refresh their spirits' and the works scored an immediate hit, becoming core repertoire for keyboard players both professional and amateur. 'Partita' is simply another name for a suite of dance movements, and each of these collections combines grace, agility and sprightliness with a nobleness of spirit which makes them not only accessible and attractive, but also worthy in every way of their position in the Clavierübung – Bach's own summation of his compositional skills.

The collections of airs published in France by Ballard between 1608 and 1643 contain 17 airs on Italian words, of which six are in the polyphonic collections, six are for voice with lute tablature and five for voice with guitar tablature. Taking account of variants and different versions, polyphonic or monodic, of the same pieces, we are left with ten texts – a rather insignificant group amid a repertoire of over 2,000 French airs. The present recording manages to include all these ten texts, thereby presenting almost all the Italian airs published by French composers during Louis XIII’s reign.  The musicians of Il Festino have interspersed these airs with a number of instrumental pieces and songs to Spanish texts of the same period. All the Italian airs are by three of the foremost French composers of the time, each of whom moved in court and salon circles.

„Collections” to druga płyta w dyskografii brytyjskiego zespołu Delphic. Indie dance’owe trio z Manchesteru zadebiutowało w 2010 roku świetnie przyjętym albumem „Acolyte”. Trafili też na 3. miejsce prestiżowej listy BBC Sound of 2010.  W ubiegłym roku singiel „Good Life” został wybrany jako jedna z pięciu oficjalnych piosenek minionych igrzysk olimpijskich w Londynie. Tym samym Delphic znaleźli się w gronie takich sław jak Muse, Elton John, Dizze Rascal  i The Chemical Brothers.„Collections” to kontynuacja brzmienia z „Acolyte”, ale z jeszcze większą dozą przebojowości. Na przemyślanym w najdrobniejszych szczegółach albumie, nowoczesny pop miesza się z elektroniką, a nawet elementami undergroundowego hip-hopu. „Denerwuje nas stan współczesnego popu i chcemy to do cholery zmienić” – mówi zespół - „Dlaczego niby nie powinniśmy?”.Za produkcję materiału odpowiada Ben Allen oraz Tim Goldsworthy – słynny współzałożyciel wytwórni DFA.  Album promuje nagranie „Baiya”.
