Adlam, Derek 1938- (Nombre de persona)

The English harpsichordist, clavichordist and maker of historical keyboard instruments, Derek Adlam, studied at the Guildhall School of Music from 1956 to 1960 (AGSM, Piano Performer; GGSM, School Music). His teachers traced their musical ancestry to European traditions established by Carl Czerny, Franz Liszt and Clara Schumann. As a child he was, however, drawn instinctively to the ancestors of the modern piano. Neglected spinets and strangely shaped pianos with haunting, ghostly sounds possessed a magical appeal. This attraction remained strong, and while a student he began to play the harpsichord. He also began to explore the musical possibilities offered by the early piano. https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Bio/Adlam-Derek.htm
