Tim Rishton

Timothy John Rishton is a British/Norwegian classical concert musician, author and broadcaster, known as an advocate for the musical qualities of pre-1800 keyboard music.

Rishton’s organ concerts have a particularly large following in Germany and Norway (though he plays throughout Europe and elsewhere), while his books and other writings (including a couple of dozen articles in both refereed and popular-academic journals) have been published largely in the US, UK, Norway and New Zealand. Most of his published work is written in Norwegian. He has recorded a number of CDs, particularly of early music.

His YouTube channel contains about a hundred films. Each episode presents one piece of organ music, discusses some aspect of interpretation or performance technique and concludes with a performance.
