In the autumn of 1929, a music student at Harvard discovered the harpsichord for the first time. The instrument was gifted to the university by Arnold Dolmetsch, a harpsichord maker who worked for Boston piano makers Chickering, pioneers of the movement promoting ancient instruments in the second half of the 20th century. Kirkpatrick gained access to the instrument and, after much experimentation, gave his first public harpsichord recital in May of 1930 at Harvard Music Club.
Thus began a career that spanned half a century and gained Kirkpatrick international renown as a musicologist, auteur, editor, professor and, above all, a virtuoso and musical philosopher.
Time undeniably changes perspectives, and the half-century that separated these two recordings are just as important as the generation gap between Landowska and Kirkpatrick. This is just another reason to re-evaluate Ralph Kirkpatrick's recordings of Bach, and not just in his role as a transitional figure who paved the path between the Landowska school and the revolution of Leonhardt and Harnoncourt. Kirkpatrick interpreted these works with authority, integrity and an indisputable loyalty.
