Cedille Records presents Mischa Zupko’s virtuosic three-movement Harpsichord Concerto performed by Grammy-nominated American harpsichordist Jory Vinikour joined by violinists Desirée Ruhstrat and Charlene Kluegel, violist Margaret O’Malley, and cellist David Cunliffe. Originally written for American harpsichordist Bradley Brookshire, who premiered the work with the Corigliano String Quartet in 2003, Zupko’s Harpsichord Concerto draws on influences from J.S. Bach’s motor-rhythmic Prelude in C Minor, François Couperin’s French-style ornamentation, and Domenico Scarlatti’s bright and percussive keyboard writing. Traveling through three movements, the concerto is naturally propelled by writing that fits the harpsichord’s traditional format, and is brought into contemporary tonality through the reshaping of older musical styles into a modern expression.
