Instruments of the Wilson Collection, Vol. I [NEW!]

Charles West Wilson of Red Lion, PA has one of the outstanding collections of English harpsichords and fortepianos. This first CD in a planned series of five opens with Krebs’s grand Sonata for Two Keyboards, on the unusual combination of Kirkman harpsichord and Broadwood piano. It continues with the delightful Philadelphia Sonata no. 3 by Reinagle, on an ideally suited square piano. There follow brilliant selections by Smith and Zipoli, highlighting the features of the Kirkman and Slade harpsichords, respectively, and then the celebrated Handel E major Suite, with the Harmonious Blacksmith variations. The CD concludes on a more Romantic note, with an expressive selection from Clementi’s Gradus ad Parnassum on the Broadwood.

The Complete Mazurkas of Karol Szymanowski

Pictured is my compact disc recording (2002) of the Complete Mazurkas of Karol Szymanowski. These exquisite mazurkas were the subject of my doctoral paper Karol Szymanowski: Revitalizing the Solo Piano Mazurka Genre (2001), my AMS Lowens Award lecture on that subject, and my paper The 'Szymanowski clash': Harmonic Conflict and Ambiguity in the Szymanowski Mazurkas, which won the 2003 Stefan and Wanda Wilk Prize for Research in Polish Music. This article will be published shortly online at the Polish Music Journal. For those unfamiliar with this composer, I recommend the informative website Karol Szymanowski info.
