Chit Chat: Music for Two
Clavichords. New Release How often does one encounter the rich
sonority of two clavichords on two superb historical instruments? This
project celebrates this rare and enchanting medium with a range of works
written specifically for Terence Charlston and Julian Perkins by acclaimed
composer-performers Iain Farrington and Heloise Werner, in addition to works
by Alexander J. Blustin, Peter Maxwell Davies,
Nicola LeFanu, Timothy Roberts, Peter Thorne, and
Charlston himself. Read more.

Froberger: Complete Fantasias and Canzonas.
The eight fantasias and six canzonas
of Johann Jacob Froberger (1616-1667) are amongst
his most beautifully crafted yet most neglected works. They survive together
with toccatas and partitas in a meticulously written autograph manuscript,
the Libro Secondo, dated 19 September 1649. This is the first recording of all
14 works on the clavichord. Reviews: "But not a single note of this disc ever sounds too private or too furtive. In the hands of Charlston, his clavichord soars and expands before our very ears. Through this incantation of counterpoint, in turns both exotic and familiar, Charlston reveals a depth of humanity on par with the great polyphonic achievements of J.S. Bach." Adam Sherkin (The Whole Note)

La Chasse Royale: The Keyboard Manuscript of Antoine Selosse "Terence Charlston showcases this treasure haul brilliantly on a sprightly harpsichord, a dulcet clavichord and a robust organ from 1702 (maybe Britain's oldest)." **** CD Reviews, The Times, June 2010 "This set stands out as an illustrious model for the fusion of exemplary scholarship and impeccable musicianship."

Terence Charlston is a highly-regarded British harpsichordist "he is obviously a major, major talent." Fanfare Magazine, FEB 2010 "His rendition of the Prelude and Fugue in F minor is particularly appealing, lingering for just the right amount of time on the juiciest harmonies in the Prelude and conveying the drama of the densely chromatic Fugue with an expert's sense of timing." Early Music (2014) Volume 42, Issue 1, pp. 141-143. |

"This is a CD full of beautiful, tuneful and excellently-played music by a specialist who brings style, originality and above all great illumination to one of that period's most elegant and characterful composers.

Melothesia 1673:Prelude, Saraband, Suite in C, Suite
in G minor, Suite in D, Suite in D minor (William Gregory), 7 pieces for the
organ. "Terence Charlston's playing is neat and bright, enlivening repeats with well-chosen ornaments, and everywhere responding sympathetically to Locke's slightly quirky individuality. This may be slight music, but Charlston and Deux-Elles have taken the job of committing it to disc with admirable seriousness." GRAMOPHONE FEBRUARY 2004 "This
disc from Deux-Elles is sheer proof that the harpsichord, virginals and the
organ are the most expressive instruments and these works from Matthew Locke
show their high status in the field of seventeenth century keyboard
music...this release from Deux-Elles is one to be treasured." Classical
Music on the Web September 2003 "Terence Charlston plays persuasively. He has a fresh, off-the-key touch, letting air into lines and textures, and ornamenting crisply. He uses four contrasting instruments...all recorded with admirable immediacy." BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE DEC 2003 PERFORMANCE****SOUND***** |
