with Michael Jarvis, fortepiano,
and string players from the PBO.
“Jarvis has an awesome technique that produces music of enormous
style and crystal clarity . . . a persuasiveness that is remarkable."--The
Hamilton Spectator
In
the early eighteenth century, baroque was on its way out as Le
Style Galant became all the rage. As music moved out of the
church and into the courtly salon, elegant tunefulness and genteel
accompaniment took over. Then, along came Mozart, who turned this
style into some of the greatest classics of all time. Revel in the
music of the thoroughly modern composer of his time. You'll hear
a violin sonata, a piano quartet, and Mozart's take on some music
by J.C. Bach, all played as he would have heard it.
