Rachel Podger is one of the most creative talents to emerge in the field of period performance. Over the last two decades she has established herself as a leading interpreter of the music of the Baroque and Classical periods and holds numerous recordings to her name ranging from early seventeenth century music to Mozart. Rachel's recording of J.S. Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin and his Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord (with Trevor Pinnock) were both awarded first place by the BBC's 'Building a Library' programme. Teaching is also a significant part of Rachel's musical life. She is Professor of Baroque Violin at the Royal Academy of Music in London where she is also an Honorary Member. In this masterclass she works on movements from Violin Partita No 2 in D minor, Violin Partita No 3 in E major, Cello Suite No 3 in C major and Cello Suite No 5 in C minor.
