About
Jacob Kirkman was a member of one of the most important harpsichord builder dynasties of his time. Even Charles Burney (music historian, composer & musician) was full of praise of him. Kirkman‘s family was also able to master the transition to the Fortepiano with a series of innovations. Medea Bindewald partly performs on keyboards built by the Kirkman company, with compositions by Jacob Kirkman.

Awards and reviews
Diapason June 2017
Supported by the woody sonority of Nicolette Moonen, Medea Bindewald exploits the silvery tone of her instrument. One admires a perfect matching of repertoire and instrument, and the respect she pays to the dynamics and the clean tonal quality of the pianoforte. The enjoyment of the playing and enthusiasm for these new discoveries remain undiminished throughout this well constructed programme
