When Egarr departs after the 2021-22 season, he will have been in the post – he succeeded founder Christopher Hogwood – for 15 years. The AAM, London’s oldest Baroque orchestra, has made more than 300 recordings: among its many landmarks were the first period-instrument discs of Handel’s Messiah and the complete Mozart symphonies.
