CD2-JS Bach-Six Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord by Ingrid Matthews and Byron Schenkman

Ingrid Matthews and Byron Schenkman : CD2-JS Bach-Six Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord.
Baroque violin & harpsichord.

Music for brain and soul, this is the last collaboration between two of the most stunning players on the American early music scene.

Ingrid Matthews and Byron Schenkman have long been regarded as well-established stars of the American early music scene. Their collaboration began in the 1980s, when the two were graduate students at Indiana University's Early Music Institute under Stanley Ritchie and Elisabeth Wright. Since that time, Matthews and Schenkman have performed and recorded together extensively, as a duo, with the chamber ensemble La Luna, and as directors of the Seattle Baroque Orchestra, which they founded in 1994. Matthews won first prize in the Erwin Bodky International Competition for Early Music in 1989, and Schenkman was awarded the Bodky Prize in 1999. In addition to their extensive joint discography, Schenkman has produced dozens of solo harpsichord CDs, to international critical acclaim, and Matthews has recorded the complete Sonatas and Partitas for Unaccompanied Violin of Johann Sebastian Bach, of which the American Record Guide writes: "this superb recording...is my top recommendation for this music, on either period or modern instruments."

Byron Schenkman is now working as a modern pianist based in New York. This album is the last project the two undertook together before Byron's musical metamorphosis was complete, and as such stands as a significant memento of a wonderful and rare musical collaboration.
