The pianist Shani Diluka – born to Sri Lankan parents in Monaco, and trained in Paris – describes the Renaissance and Early Baroque as periods “when challenges to established beliefs intersected to enrich culture and science”. While Purcell, Scarlatti and Handel take pride of place on Renaissance, Diluka’s interpretations and transcriptions also bring new life to music by Byrd, Eccles, Frescobaldi, Palestrina and J.S. Bach.
