Carole Cerasi - 1636 Ruckers harpsichord
(from the Cobbe Collection, Hatchlands Park)
“All this music is performed with flair and vitality by the
Swedish-born harpsichordist Carole Cerasi. If this is her first disc I
am delighted to roll out the red carpet for her. Her playing is deeply
impressive and rewarding, and a model of clarity. A disc very highly recommended
on all accounts.”

Carole Cerasi - harpsichord & fortepiano
“It is a tribute to Cerasi's artistry and understanding of
C. P. E. Bachs idiosyncratic idiom that the recital grips the listeners
attention from the very first note and refuses to let go. Whatever the
piece and chosen mode of communication, Cerasi shows herself an interpreter
of remarkable insight...the music of C. P. E. Bach makes for compulsive
listening, and nowhere more so than in Cerasis fine accounts. This is
a stunning disc. I urge anyone even remotely intrigued to try it.”

Thomas Tomkins
Music for Harpsichord and Virginals
Metronome MetCD 1049
Carole Cerasi - harpsichord & virginals
“An eloquent tribute to the last of the English virginalists,
with Cerasi on sparkling form... Few listeners will fail to be impressed
by the fearless accuracy and panache with which she throws off Tomkins's
torrential passagework and finger-breaking double thirds, but she is sensitive,
too, in the slower pavans and fancies. Like Leonhardt, she manages to
achieve a supreme eloquence in such pieces by the sheer precision and
control with which she places each note, and it is a pleasure just to
hear her playing... Another outstanding disc from this fine young harpsichordist.”

“Carole Cerasi, whose delicacy of touch and impeccable style
is matched by an unparalleled confidence of attack, maps each piece with
due verve, attention and imagination. Sheer delight.”
Independent on Sunday
“Continuing an award-winning trail of engaging recorded recitals...Cerasi
gives a thoroughly engrossing account of these masters. This is another
compelling recital by Cerasi dispatched with flair and acute sensibility.”
