I have many of his AAM recordings and those guided me into both period performance and the baroque repertoire. Many thanks to Christoper Hogwood for that. 13DoW

My December column, which of course I sent in weeks before he died, praises the L'Oiseau-Lyre "The Baroque Era" boxed set (Hogwood is on 30 of the 50 CDs), and included it in my every-few-years (or so) Holiday Gift Guide.

Arkivmusic.com (insert usual disclosures and disclaimers here) had graciously told me that they will maintain the sale pricing on that set through Christmas in view of my column coverage.

It's a fascinating counterpoint to the Deutsche Grammophon cubic box of last year!

I tell people to buy both, and to listen to them antiphonally, well, sequentially by CD is what I mean.

My HGG this year will be a Duesie!

ATB + RIP (already said that tho)

And then searching for Christopher Hogwood found no items, but I ended up on a CH "profile" page.

I think it is the bees' knees, but, YMMV.

amioutaline?	I knew of HIP instruments but never heard the music until I found some Loiseau Lyre Florilegiums. Now I'm collecting them all. Restored and craft-built "ancient" instruments are a delight to my ears, "single-ended" if you will. In fact, I have my eyes on a Sackbut for the near future.

amioutaline?	Certainly in my case and especially since my 65th year.
