Activity Description
Brooklyn Conservatory is pleased to welcome Russian-American pianist Sergey Schepkin for a recital of J. S. Bach’s complete Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II.
Recognized internationally for riveting and insightful performances of repertoire ranging from Handel to Gubaidulina, Schepkin has garnered special attention over the past decade and a half for his Bach recordings and recitals. Among his numerous awards are the first and Chopin prizes in the 1999 New Orleans International Piano Competition, and top prizes in the 1988 Crown Princess Sonja and 1985 All-Russia piano competitions.
The New York Times has called Mr. Schepkin “a formidable Bach pianist who plays with the passion and drama of a young Glenn Gould,” and American Record Guide found his recording of the Well-Tempered Clavier II “thought provoking, blissfully musical, remarkable in the depth and felicity of its detail...Schepkin stands out as the major Bach interpreter of his generation.”
Brooklyn Conservatory’s intimate 100-seat concert hall will host a rare pianistic feat when Schepkin scales the heights and sounds the depths—from memory—of all twenty-four preludes and fugues (one of each in every major and minor key) of Bach’s monumental oeuvre. On the faculty of Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Music, Mr. Schepkin stops off in Brooklyn on a WTC II tour to include recitals in Pittsburgh, Boston, and Tokyo.
