One of the most exciting harpsichordists of the younger generation, Jean-Christophe Dijoux takes us on a thrilling journey to the Baroque period and age of the keyboard virtuosos. This multiple award-winning musician (whose honors include prizes at the 2014 Bach Competition and 2013 Telemann Competition) is passionate about the musical world straddling the line between notation and improvisation. Preludes, fantasies, and fugues ranging from Handel, Father Bach, and Telemann to Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach – beneath Dijoux’ fingertips, the music presented on this new GENUIN CD sounds like it was written yesterday, or even like it was being created in this very moment. Dynamic insights into a lost world!

"This is an excellent interpretation from a young prodigy who could well become a great master."

American Record Guide
"it's easy to hear in this debut album why his artistry earned a prize. Dijoux has tremendous control of time, both in his phrasing and in the subtle art of not playing the notes together. His expressivity is impressive, too. He keeps the music interesting and makes it his own."
