[...] you’ll be rewarded by Carole Cerasi’s impressive musicality and technical control of a Hoffmann clavichord from 1784, housed at Hatchlands Park, and heard for the first time here on a commercial release.
Listeners familiar with Cerasi’s 1998 CPE Bach recording on harpsichord and fortepiano (7/00) will find her clavichord interpretations of this composer equally lively and brash. [...] Cerasi plays all three movements of the E minor Sonata sensationally, exploiting the instrument’s twangy sonorities at full-tilt.
In Muthel’s Arioso and Variations, Cerasi’s agogic stresses and carefully considered accents intensify embellishments and key isolated single notes in the bass without sounding the least mannered. [...] To quote Virgil Thomson approving a friend’s cuisine: ‘This is no kids’ stuff!’
