Queen Elizabeth's Virginal
Harpsichordist Rachel Factor tells the story of Queen Elizabeth's Italian virginal harpsichord through a programme of music featuring some of England's and Italy's most celebrated composers from the 16th and early 17th century. Works featured include compositions from The Dublin Virginal Manuscript, The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book and such Italian composers as Picchi, Valente and Merulo.
Rachel will perform on her new harpsichord built by Andrew Garlick in 2023, modelled after Queen Elizabeth I’s own virginal.
