Bach and the baroque

For more than twenty years, Anthony Newman has been in the public eye as one of the country's leading organ vituosos and as a harpsichordist, fortepianist, conductor, composer, writer, and recording artist. His more than 100 releases on such labels as CBS Masterworks/Sony Classical, Newport Classic Recordings, and Moss Music Group cover a range of styles from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries.

His 1989 fortepiano performance of Beethoven's Third Concerto was named Record of the Year by Stereo Review.

In 1992, to mark the 25th anniversary of Mr. Newman's first public appearance, Newport Classics released five CDs covering the range of his artistry. A frequent collaborator with many notable artists, Mr. Newman has also recorded for both Sony Classical and Deutsche Grammophon with Kathleen Battle, Itzhak Perlman, and Wynton Marsalis.

His solo appearances as organist and harpsichordist from New York and Chicago to Mexico City, Paris, Praque, and Vienna have confirmed his reputation as one of the keyboard masters of his generation.
