The selections on this CD, with the
exception of the Bach (which was recorded at home), were
performed for live audiences in salon-sized halls including
Steinway Hall in New York City. Nothing on this disk was cut or
pasted, opting for authenticity and spontaneity over electronic
perfection. You are there!
"Recorded live (with no
patches or editing of any kind) in a variety of locations including New
York's Steinway Hall, Carol Montparker sparkles radiantly across a broad
spectrum of repertoire. What immediately strikes the listener In
Mozart's K576 Sonata is the grace and sheer communicated warmth of
Montparker's playing, qualities that spill over into a small selection
of The Well-Tempered Clavier preludes and fugues, and two Schubert
favorites, the D 946
Klavierstück and the B flat major Impromptu.
Finest of all is Ravel's Sonatine, an enchanting reading that brims over
with affection. Some tolerance is required with the changes in recorded
ambiance, but this is still a most attractive recital."
