Keyboardist and conductor Richard Egarr has been a figure of unusual versatility on the early music scene. He plays keyboards of various kinds, concentrating on the harpsichord, and has conducted both early music ensembles and modern symphony orchestras. In 1991, Egarr made his recording debut as a harpsichordist, releasing an album of music by Frescobaldi. Beginning in 1994, he made one of the few recording cycles of the complete keyboard works of Johann Jakob Froberger. With flourishing careers as both keyboardist and conductor, Egarr was named director of the Academy of Ancient Music in 2006. He stepped down from that position in 2021 and was succeeded by Laurence Cummings. As director of the Academy of Ancient Music, Egarr released albums, including a recording of J.L. Dussek's Messe solemnelle in 2020 and a pair of Mozart piano concertos with fortepianist Robert Levin in 2023.
Richard Egarr has also released music as a member of Duo Pleyel.
