Carole Cerasi

After an unusual upbringing - born in Sweden of Sephardi/Turkish origins, with French as her first language - Carole Cerasi has been based in London since 1982. She is regularly praised for her refined and exciting music making; her repertoire extends from the English Virginalists to Beethoven’s early sonatas.

Recent performances have included recitals at the Harrogate, Warwick, Brno, Dieppe, Tallinn and Ludwigsburg festivals and the Musikinstrumenten-Museum in Berlin; in 2002/3 she performed in France (Ambronay, La Roque d’Anthéron), Belgium, Israel, Norway, Denmark, Portugal and Japan.

With her group Ensemble Türk she explores the classical fortepiano chamber repertoire; they have recently given concerts at the Wigmore Hall, Zürich Tonhalle and for the BBC.

She is Professor of Harpsichord at the Yehudi Menuhin School and of fortepiano at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and the Royal Academy of Music.

Her first CD, the complete works of Elisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre, won a Gramophone Award; discs of sonatas by C.P.E. Bach and works by Thomas Tomkins were received to great critical acclaim, including the Diapason d’Or de l’Année for both. Her next CD J.S. Bach and the Möller Manuscript, was released in early 2002.
