Seth Carlin: Fortepiano music from the early 1800s.


Seth Carlin began his career at the age of nine with a broadcast over radio station WNYC in New York, performing a work written especially for him. Although he continued to perform extensively, it was only after a period of study in Paris that Carlin decided on a career in music.

Seth Carlin was prizewinner in the International Busoni Competition, and received a recitalist grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1989. He has appeared as soloist with orchestras such as the Saint Louis Symphony, San Francisco Philharmonia Baroque, Toronto Tafelmusik, and Boston Pops, with conductors such as Leonard Slatkin, Nicholas McGegan and Roger Norrington. He has played at Lincoln Center, the Festival of Two Worlds, the Marlboro Music Festival, the Newport Music Festival, the Sante Fe Chamber Music Festival, and the Cambridge Society for Early Music. Carlin has also appeared on television and radio in France, Sweden, Germany and China. He has recorded for both Titanic and Naiad records.

Among Seth Carlin's accomplishments is the cycle of complete Schubert fortepiano sonatas, including the "Wanderer" Fantasy that he performed in New York City during the 1991-92 season, and which were broadcast nationally on National Public Radio's program "Performance Today." Recently Carlin's CD of Sonatas and Bagatelles by Beethoven was named Recording of the Month by Alte Musik Actuelle magazine. Currently, Carlin is Professor of Music at Washington University in St. Louis.
