Dear friends, colleagues, Dear supporters,
From the bottom of my heart – thank you.
I am incredibly grateful for your support of my project «Music for These Troubled Times.» Your generosity and encouragement made it possible to reach – and even surpass – the funding goal. Thanks to you, the CD will become a reality!
For those who are curious about more details on the CD: I’m very excited to share that last week I spent several days in Paris trying out various exceptional harpsichords. As you know, I had planned to record the CD on the remarkable transposing Ruckers copy by Émile Jobin. But now, I’m the recording will feature not one, but two instruments.
The second harpsichord is a truly exceptional copy of the earliest surviving English keyboard instrument, built by Lodewijk Theewes. While the original was a claviorganum, this copy – that was just restored by Julien Bailly – is a harpsichord with three registers (2 x 8’ and 1 x 4’), each with a distinct and beautiful tone. There is no harpsichords with such disposition in any country at that time. Moreover, the original instrument’s first owner was a friend of composers Thomas Tallis and William Byrd – whose music will be part of the program.
In the future I look forward to sharing the promised gifts with each of you. And if you’d like to stay updated on my future artistic adventures, you’re warmly invited to sign up for my newsletter at my website: www.dmytrokokoshynskyy.com
I’ll be sending news as often as I can – and I truly look forward to sharing the music with you.
With heartfelt thanks, Dmytro Kokoshynskyy
