CONTEMPORARY HARPSICHORD
Contemporary Composers for Harpsichord, Vol. 1, Vivace Press
Arnold Rosner Sonatine d’Amour • Barbara Harbach Spaindango • Michael Rose B’rachah (Benediction) This volume collects some of the most popular and widely-heard harpsichord music of the twentieth-century. Arnold Rosner has been called “an inventive and original voice” (The Buffalo News) and the composer of “one of the most eerily fascinating compositions for harpsichord” (Fanfare). CD Review has called Harbach’s Spaindango a “fetching piece, full of antique flourishes mixed with 20th-century rage and madness, a cauldron of churning notes.” These pieces are coupled with Michael Rose’s melodic B’rachah (Benediction).

Contemporary Composers for Harpsichord, Vol. 2, Vivace Press
Emma Lou Diemer Toccata • Barbara Harbach Tres Danzas para Clavecin This second volume of Vivace’s contemporary harpsichord series pairs two rhythmically vibrant works. Emma Lou Diemer is a well-known composer, especially admired for her keyboard works. Toccata is a perpetual motion of energy with splashes of glissandi and climactic tremolos. Barbara Harbach’s recordings of twentieth century repertoire have generated considerable enthusiasm and critical acclaim. Tres Danzas para Clavecin has a Spanish flavor and frenzied outer movements that feature flamenco clusters, glissandi, and fast arpeggios.
