Ms. Meshulam’s performance is the first of the season for the HB Artist Series, The Faculty in Performance – twenty evenings of exciting music-making by the accomplished performers who comprise the distinguished Hoff-Barthelson Music School faculty.
Benita Meshulam has appeared in concerts and recitals throughout the United States and Europe. A specialist in Spanish repertoire, she has had three recordings that have gained recognition. Her first CD of Iberia was put of the recommended listening list of The New York Times Magazine in 1990 and her recording of Goyescas was singled out by Classic CD Magazine in Great Britain for a five-star mega-review. It was also on the Grammy nomination list in 1997. Her last recording of the piano music of Xaview Montsalvatge received rave reviews from Classic CD, American Record Guide, BBC Magazine, and Spain’s Scherzo Magazine. She was a recent soloist in the Montsalvatge Concerto Breve and Falla’s Noches en last Jardines de Espana.
The October 19 recital program, “Chopin and Spain,” will include three sonatas by Scarlatti; selections from Albéniz’s Suite “Iberia;” Manuel de Falla’s Fantasía Bética; and the Mazurka in C-sharp minor, Opus 50, No. 3 and the Impromptu in G-Flat Major, Opus 51 of Chopin.
