"Signs of a Poet And a Daredevil
...Fiery displays of muscle, with poetic undercurrents to remind listeners that there is art within this music’s gymnastic contours...It is this balance of daredevil showmanship and pure musicality that explains the lure of Mr. Shehori’s playing."
The New York Times

(Different sonatas than those on CD 99)

 

 

"The Scarlatti sonatas he has selected are not among the most often heard and were obviously chosen for contrast in mood and style. Shehori treats them seriously, as a kind of precursor to Chopin-elegiac, expressive, logical, witty, with similar mixture of brilliance and lyricism-and plays them with an emotional depth and intensity that is not apparent in the printed notes. His articulation is crisp (he tosses off repeated notes, trills, and arpeggios with impressive ease), his phrasing is subtle and effective."
American Record Guide

CD 104
Mordecai Shehori, Piano
Jean-Philippe Rameau

PIÈCES DE CLAVECIN

Allemande in A minor; Allemande in E minor; La Dauphine; La Livri; LesTourbillons; La Triomphante

La Joyeuse;  Tambourin;  Les Soupirs; L’Egyptienne; Les Tendres Plaintes; La Poule; Le Lardon; Les Cyclopes    L’Entretien des Muses; Les Sauvages  Le Rappel des Oiseaux   

 

"Shehori makes the most of their strong contrasts, integrates their elaborate ornamentation nicely into the musical flow, and again his skillful phrasing and rhythmic zest are very engaging.   These performances will infuriate the purists, but they are likely to please anyone who cares about excellent piano playing and lovely music."

"Mordecai Shehori is a marvelous pianist in almost every conceivable category.  Indeed, if elegance had a middle name, it would be Shehori.  At last here is a pianist who not only understand the power of gentleness but puts it to work at every opportunity.  Though it goes without saying that his technique is impeccable, something more is afoot when he plays, as he found a way to harness the storm before the storm."
John Bell Young
