And while she sits this one out in a bedazzling reading of Bach&#8217;s D minor concerto, she&#8217;s made headlines standing before her beloved as Queen of a Chamber Band that&#8217;s produced reams of high quality performances.</p>
<p>Comparone, in royal fashion, continues to champion the harpsichord as a front and center player among its keyboard kin. In solo and ensemble appearances, her resonant Dowd or Hubbard make a profoundly audible impression to final cadence, leaving an entranced audience with an insatiable appetite for more.</p>
<p>What better way to showcase the impeccable artistry of Maestra Comparone than to post her most recent gift to a growing league of You Tube fans and subscribers: an inspired recording session at St. Peter&#8217;s Episcopal Church in New York City.</p>
