Yoann Moulin’s ‘Stylus Luxurians’ – compulsive listening!

/in /by

Yoann Moulin’s spectacular recording ‘Stylus Luxurians’ focuses on 17th century German harpsichord music by Weckmann, Froberger Ritter, Tunder, and Scheidemann. This was the period in which German music began to reflect elements of the French style after earlier adoption of elements of the Italian style. The result: simply gorgeous, luxurious music. This exquisite, crystal-clear recording of brilliantly played music makes for compulsive listening. Released under the Ricercar-Outhere label.

Lillian Gordis’ latest double-disk album ‘Bach’, released under the Paraty label, is a feast for the senses. Comprising her personal selection of Partitas, English Suites and Preludes and Fugues from the Well Tempered Clavier, this is a technical tour de force with the most compelling interpretations.

Qobuz and Pierre-Yves Lascar: “Without doubt, this is well worth a listen.” “These two musical hours are breath-taking in every sense of the word…”

Rave Review for Jory Vinikour’s Capriccio Concert

/in /by

Capriccio’s Saturday, Sept. 18, 2021, concert ‘La joie de vivre’ featuring Jory Vinikour aimed to lift the audiences’ spirits after a prolonged and bleak period when concert halls have been shuttered. Jory more than delivered! The Washington Classical Review’s Charles Downey showered the performance with praise, describing it as “…a sensational evening”. Jory Vinikour’s exceptional technique and bountiful musicality shone in a program packed with “effervescent and devilishly challenging pieces” full of “…finger-twisting calisthenics…” (Charles Downey) by Byrd, Bull, J.S. Bach, D. Scarlatti, Rameau, L. Couperin, and Royer.

We’re giddy with delight as we launch our 2021/2022 Season featuring exceptional harpsichordists in extraordinary live!! and virtual concerts. We’ve have a wonderful line-up of harpsichordists who’ll be performing diverse and compelling programs.

While we very much hope the Season will proceed as planned, we must make provision for possible interruptions. This means we’ll open ticket sales for a concert 4 to 6 weeks out from the concert date. On the day we open ticket sales for a concert we’ll send our Subscribers an email announcing this. If you’re not already on the subscriber’s list, do complete one of the sign-up boxes on this website so you are kept informed and don’t miss out on tickets. We’re sorry to announce that we’ll not offer our popular Subscription Packages this Season because of the continuing uncertainties.  We request patrons’ understanding on these measures; our intention is to avoid disappointment and a cycle of ticket refunds. 

We so look forward to welcoming you back in person to – very hopefully! – a full Season of extraordinary concerts!
