...represented on the program twice: by his Italian Concerto, which adapts for solo harpsichord the complete concerto form; and by his Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue, which harkens back to the craggy German organ style of Scheidt and Buxtehude. Perhaps the most electrifying music of the afternoon, however, was Jean Philippe Rameau's Gavotte and Six Variations, in which Kirkpatrick showed his complete technical mastery of the harpsichord, using both of the keyboards and the octave pedals brilliantly...

Lillian Hellman has skillfully adapted Jean Anouiln's material into a revealing portrait of a high spirited Joan...
