This album is dedicated to the memory of Delos founder Amelia S. Haygood, who especially loved Bach, and would have celebrated these fresh and invigorating performances. – Carol Rosenberger

Joshua Smith is aptly known for his “gorgeous sound, bracing virtuosity, and breathtaking lyricism.” His collaborator Jory Vinikour — whose new Delos set of Handel suites has already received raves from Gramophone and others — remarks on Joshua’s “innate musical sensitivity and his absolutely unparalleled range of dynamics and articulation.”
