Passacaglia Duo - Annabel Knight (flute and recorder) and Robin Bigwood (harpsichord) - are long time members of the award-winning baroque chamber ensemble, Passacaglia. They have performed across Britain, Europe and America in leading early music festivals and venues, including many performances at the Wigmore Hall and Purcell Room. They have featured in numerous BBC radio programmes and broadcasts, and on worldwide radio networks including WDR Köln Radio, the European Broadcasting Union and WFMT Radio, Chicago. They have also recorded a number of acclaimed discs for the Linn and Naxos labels, as well as for their own label, BCR.

Annabel Knight has established a successful performing and teaching career as a recorder player and historical flautist, which has taken her across the UK, Europe and America with ensembles Passacaglia and with the recorder quintet, Fontanella. In 2010 she released a solo disc of music by Gordon Jacob on the Naxos label, in collaboration with the Maggini String Quartet. Annabel enjoys teaching at all levels and is the founder and director of the popular Woodhouse Recorder Week, an international summer school for aspiring recorder players. She teaches at Birmingham Conservatoire and a number of schools in the South East. Annabel can also be heard playing on film soundtracks including ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ Part 1, and ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’.

Robin Bigwood is one of the UK’s busiest harpsichordists, performing regularly as a soloist and as a continuo player with Passacaglia, Feinstein Ensemble, London Baroque, The Sixteen, Florilegium and Britten Sinfonia. Robin was brought up near Bristol in the UK, studied harpsichord and piano at the Royal College of Music and won the Broadwood Harpsichord Competition in 1995. In 2009 he became a regular member of the Feinstein Ensemble, and plays with them in their busy series at St Martin in the Fields, London, and at the Purcell Room. Outside of performing, Robin is passionate about recording technology. He has produced and engineered many successful CDs, and writes regularly for the respected recording magazine, Sound on Sound.
