Awards and reviews

June 2015

[Schepkin's] performances...are of an exemplary precision and lucidity...such telling scholarship is complemented by playing devoid of egocentricity, elaborate gesturing and agogic accentuation, in which everything is made seamless and natural, though with no loss of character. Bach is always allowed his own voice.
