Isolde Ahlgrimm was born on this day in 1914
Together with her husband, instrument collector Erich Fiala (1911–78), Ahlgrimm played a central role in the revival of interest in the use of period instruments for the performance of Baroque and Classical music.
Ahlgrimm and Fiala presented their long-running series of Concerte für Kenner und Liebhaber (“Concerts for connoisseurs and amateurs”) in Vienna between 1937 and 1956; this involved 74 different programs of music from the 16th to the 20th centuries, much of this repertoire receiving its first modern performance.

Saw him/them in the UK last year. Just brilliant. Steve Winwood supporting.
Had to listen to Time Waits For No One even though Mick Taylor didn’t get the credit he deserved. Magic stuff!
The Pineapple Thief - Versions Of The Truth. I’d never heard of this band until I joined this forum.
I have always had a soft spot for a flawed genius. Not sure I agree with a lot he says these days though!
Brian Eno and John Cale - Wrong Way Up. I’ve been exploring some of John Cale’s solo work and stumbled on this rather good collaboration with Brian Eno from 1990.
