Review "...Ms. Dinnerstein chose an interesting, well-balanced, and eloquent program...She made a splash with that "Goldberg" disc last year. And, in this Berlin concert, she has a worthy follow-up." -- New York Sun, July 14, 2008 "Dinnerstein's subtly-inflected tonal purity and exquisite dynamic suppleness impart a sense of concentrated musical inevitability to the Bach French Suite rivaled only in my experience by Dinu Lipatti's incandescent reading of the B flat Partita. . . her playing (like Lipatti's) is such a natural extension of her interpretative vision that the two become completely indissoluble. The Gigue finale is not only touch-perfect (how does she create such an exquisite, velvety staccato?) but also so mellifluously voiced and immaculately balanced that it is difficult to imagine the music being played with a more complete grasp of every parameter. . . A stunning recital, engineered with tactile precision." -- International Piano, July 2008 Product Description American pianist Simone Dinnerstein now releases her second album on Telarc. The CD is a live recording of Ms. Dinnerstein's recital debut at the Kammermusiksaal of the Philharmonie in Berlin, which took place on November 22, 2007. The program features J.S. Bach's French Suite No. 5 in G Major, BWV 816; the world premiere recording of American composer Philip Lasser's Variations on a Bach Chorale; and Beethoven's landmark Sonata No. 32 in C minor, OP. 111. Grammy Award winning engineer Adam Abe's house is the producer and engineer for the CD. About the Artist Dinnerstein has gained an international following since the remarkable success of her recording of the Goldberg Variations, released on Telarc in August 2007. The album, her solo CD debut, earned the No. 1 spot on the U.S. Billboard Traditional Classical Chart during its first week of sales and has remained highly ranked since then. In recent months, she has been featured in Gramophone, BBC Music Magazine, Classic FM Magazine, The New York Times, Slate.com, The Daily Telegraph, The Independent, The Guardian, and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, among others, and has appeared on radio programs including BBC Radio 3's In Tune, NPR's Morning Edition, Public Radio International's Studio 360, American Public Media's Performance Today, Minnesota Public Radio, as part of the news on SIRIUS Satellite Radio's The Howard Stern Show, and on national television in Germany.
