BBC RECORD OF THE MONTH
“sparkling keyboard works, utterly original and
distinctive. ...
Meyerson responds with playing at once informed and joyous.”
Kate Bolton-Pociatti
BBC Music Magazine
CONFIDENCE & SPIRIT
“Mitzi Meyerson celebrates [Richard] Jones with confidence and spirit, with audible joy in the savoring of virtuoso effects and a lovingly ingenious, sensitive registration of the instrument. Under Meyerson’s hands, a whole unique cosmos of late baroque harpsichord music emerges.”
Andreas Grabner
Die Kostprobe
ONE OF THE FINEST IN THE WORLD
“To put it simply, Mitzi Meyerson is one of the finest harpsichordists in the world. Rarely does one hear harpsichord playing of such expressive range. Brilliantly molding texture and tempo, Meyerson humanized passages that would seem mechanical in other hands . . . unforgettable.”
The Oregonian [USA]
VIRTUOSITY,
EXQUISITE FEELING
“Harpsichordist Mitzi Meyerson has tremendous fun with these “Eight Setts of Lessons for the Harpsichord”. Her ornamentation is adroit, limpid and refulgent, her registration choices smart and revealing, and she is happy to rearrange and interpolate for more striking musical and rhetorical effects. ... Jones’ music comes alive through her efforts and this double disc set transcends.”

RECORDING OF THE MONTH
“The recording of this set is of great importance. It is technically impressive and makes a lasting impression. All the qualities of Francoeur’s sonatas are convincingly conveyed here, a winning combination once again. This production fully deserves the label “Recording of the Month”.

IMAGINATIVE, WITTY, SENSITIVE
“Such is the variety of the music itself, so imaginative, witty and sensitive are the realizations, that these performances are a constant delight. Lovingly played and recorded, this marvelous disc deserves the highest recommendation.”
The Europadisc Review
FLAIR & FINESSE
"Highly charged with emotion, this music demands spirited, dramatic performances which would make the most of its stylish decadence. These Mitzi Meyerson delivers with flair and finesse. Her penchant for capturing the essence of the moment and the variety of her playing fascinates; her intelligent attention to detail never overshadows her acute sense of timing."
