“Brookshire’s performance resembles no other harpsichord rendition in its range of colours and articulation, and in its varied approach to tempo…This reflects Brookshire’s view that “the variety of styles and genres that Bach has pulled out of a small amount of thematic material” is the “most essential feature” of The Art of Fugue…moving and revelatory.” — Goldberg Magazine |

"A fabulous release, notable in particular for Brookshire’s ultra-imaginative approach. This is not for the conservative; indeed, some movements have a freshness bordering on the bizarre…novel and compelling expressivity…ornaments and other added improvised passages are tasteful and utterly convincing. By far, Brookshire’s release of the French Suites is the best on the market I’ve heard – ever. " — American Record Guide “Here is a wonderful opportunity for listeners everywhere to hear one of the New York early-music scene's best-kept secrets... Even if the field were not so bereft of competition, Mr. Brookshire would stand out for his intelligence, artistry, technique and, not least, humor." "Brookshire plays the harpsichord the way Nigella Lawson eats chocolate: with enraptured absorption. What lifts Brookshire's performances out of the usual audiophile (or academic Baroque) dead end is his unusual leavening of drama with humor…Great late night listening...on an enviably high musical plane. You must hear this." — Stereophile Magazine “There is plenty more to record where that came from." — The New York Times |
