Mark Kroll, harpsichord • • from Albany TROY457 (2001) • • http://www.albanyrecords.com • • New American sounds for an old instrument. • The harpsichordist Mark Kroll has long been recognized as one of the central figures in the field of historical performance and early keyboard instruments. During a career spanning over 50 years, he has concertized worldwide as a harpsichordist and fortepianist, winning critical acclaim for his virtuosity and expressive playing. His many recordings include solo repertoire, violin and keyboard music with Baroque violinist Carol Lieberman, and world premiere recordings of Hummel's transcriptions of Mozart symphonies. As an educator he has served as Professor and Chair of the Department of Historical Performance at Boston University since 1977, and he is frequently invited to teach as guest professor at music academies such as Wurzburg. This is his first recording of a disc devoted to just contemporary music and it is most welcome. How many remember the wonderful recording of the beautiful Trimble piece on Columbia in their modern American music series? This new performance is just as stunning and most welcome. • • Contents: • Lou Harrison, composer • Six Sonatas for Cembalo • Mark Kroll, harpsichord • • Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, composer • Fantasy for Harpsichord • Mark Kroll, harpsichord • • Gardner Read, composer • Fantasy-Toccata for Solo Harpsichord • Mark Kroll, harpsichord • • Walter Piston, composer • Sonatina for violin and Harpsichord • Carol Lieberman, violin, Mark Kroll, harpsichord • • Robert Starer, composer • Yizkor and Anima Aeterna for Flute and Harpsichord • Alan Weiss, flute, Mark Kroll, harpsichord • • Lester Trimble, composer • Four Fragments from the Canterbury Tales • Nancy Armstrong, soprano, Bruce Creditor, clarinet, Alan Weiss, flute, Mark Kroll, harpsichord • Review: • Kroll's superb playing and Harrison's and Piston's gems...make this a good buy.
