Acclaim
Enjoy this delightful Program of lovely, elegant music written in the early Classical style. The Program is grounded around two light, witty Sonatas and a charming Fantasy by Joseph Haydn, one of the most important proponents of the Classical music style. Complimenting these are works by a fascinating array of composers including a French female composer who helped make the fortepiano popular in the court; an Italian female composer and performer widely recognized as a prodigy at a very young age; and a brilliant biracial man of color who, as a violinist, composer, and athlete acquired the French title of Chevalier de Saint-George. You’ll leave this concert with a smile on your face and a spring in your step!
Early Music Review (UK) – ‘Schenkman’s playing is exemplary: clear, without affectation and with subtle ornamentation… In a very crowded field (this) Scarlatti recording sticks out for the intelligence and bravura of the playing’
Early Music America – ‘Schenkman’s performances …are fluent, idiomatic, and engaging’
Gothic Catalogue – Byron Schenkman’s ‘… CD of Handel Harpsichord Variations has been called “dazzling” by American Recorder Guide; his D’Anglebert CD was “strongly recommended” by Fanfare Magazine; and his program of 17th-century French music from the Bauyn Manuscript was hailed as “overall one of the best harpsichord CD’s I’ve come across” by Early Music Review (UK)’
