BURNEY • * ★ Susie Napper* (cello), "a rebel to the core", is director and founder of the International Montreal Baroque Festival, and teaches in Copenhagen and Montreal. Her cello was made by Matteo Goffrillerri (Venice, 1696), and was restored by H. Lindemann (Amsterdam) in 1989.     "Singing tones... sophisticated and beguiling." -The New York Times     "A rare degree of eloquence. ... immensely assured and stylish playing." -Early Music, England     "Such a delight... irresistible theatrical thrust... pleasing to the extreme." -Diapason, France     "Totally captivating." -Viola da Gamba Society of America     "A dazzling array of sounds and shades mirroring the heart's inner meanders." -Le Droit, Canada  ★ Bach and Beethoven scholar *Hans-Jürgen Schnoor* (harpsichord) is one of Germany's leading performers of early keyboard music, and conductors of period instrument performances of the instrumental and choral works of Bach and others.  He is professor for harpsichord and early performance practice at the Conservatory of Music in Lübeck, Germany.     "Hans-Juergen Schnoor" (headline) THE WASHINGTON POST     "German harpsichordist Hans-Juergen Schnoor gave a stunning account of Bach's monumental "Goldberg Variations" ... In a chain of almost unimaginable complexity and brutal technical challenges ... Schnoor met all of that head-on with finely articulated flights. His deliberate approach was tempered by an expressive freedom illuminating the music's subjective beauty. As Schnoor hurtled through Bach's contrapuntal labyrinth, the harpsichordist absorbed the audience in the rising emotional tension, culminating in a final burst of keyboard fireworks." -- Cecelia Porter (Washington Post) *★ Jeffrey Cohan* (baroque flute) is the only North American to win both the Erwin Bodky Prize in Boston for early music performance and the highest prize in the Flanders Festival International Concours Musica Antiqua in Brugge, Belgium. He has performed in 25 countries.     "He seemed almost like a Pan from Greek myth who had come from the cold north for a ‘soirée d'un faun’ ... The listener experienced the usual and the unusual in great perfection." —Berner Tagblatt, Bern, Switzerland     "An expressive spontaneity and communicative intensity that kept a listener consistently absorbed" —The New York Times     "What Jeffrey Cohan elicits ... borders on the miraculous." —Darmstadter Echo, Darmstadt, Germany -  -  -  -  - Please join us on Thursday for an extravagant musical tour of 18th-century England, France, Germany and Italy with Dr. Charles Burney ... and welcome Susie and Hans! The breadth of national and evolving musical characteristics that Burney encountered on his travels and in his life during the 18th century will be reflected in the music of *George Frideric Handel*, *Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach*, musicians from the court of *King Frederich II of Prussia*, *Franz Joseph Haydn*, *Antonio Vivaldi* (performed on a cello made in Venice during Vivaldi's lifetime) and *Jean-Philippe Rameau*.
