Spotlight on: Jory Vinikour
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Jory Vinikour is regarded as one of the world's most accomplished harpsichordists. Born in Chicago in 1963, he has lived in Paris since 1990, when he was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to study with Huguette Dreyfus and Kenneth Gilbert. We'll talk to Vinikour about his performance practice, upcoming engagements, and all things harpsichord.
Also on the program tonight is 20th century composer Luigi Dallapiccola's "Tartiniana" for violin and orchestra. Inspired by four violin sonatas by 18th century composer Giuseppe Tartini - whom we'll also hear tonight - the piece bears witness to Dallapiccola's mastery of twelve-tone structure as well as his irrepressible Italianite lyricism.
