The selections on this CD, with the exception of the Bach (which was recorded at home), were performed for live audiences in salon-sized halls including Steinway Hall in New York City. Nothing on this disk was cut or pasted, opting for authenticity and spontaneity over electronic perfection.
You are there!

“Recorded live (with no patches or editing of any kind) in a variety of locations including New York’s Steinway Hall, Carol Montparker sparkles radiantly across a broad spectrum of repertoire. What immediately strikes the listener In Mozart’s K576 Sonata is the grace and sheer communicated warmth of Montparker’s playing, qualities that spill over into a small selection of The Well-Tempered Clavier preludes and fugues, and two Schubert favorites, the D 946 Klavierstucke and the B flat major Impromptu. Finest of all is Ravel’s Sonatine, an enchanting reading that brims over with affection. Some tolerance is required with the changes in recorded ambiance, but this is still a most attractive recital.”
