Wed March 6 New York Times Review of House of Dreams

Open Houses on Sunday Afternoons Long Ago

Tafelmusik at the American Academy of Arts and Letters

Tafelmusik, from Toronto, presented here by the Miller Theater, offered a whimsical and beautifully structured program called “House of Dreams,” which linked digital images of Baroque masterpieces to the music that was performed in the 18th-century salons where these paintings decorated the walls.

New York House of Dreams concert review from ConcertoNet.com

The Baroque Alive and Beautiful

by Harry Rolnick

An immaculate conception is worthless unless its executors have an equally immaculate method of making it work. House of Dreams, from a Toronto-based Early Music ensemble, was not only original in concept, but its technical staff, narrator, writer and of course its 16-member ensemble had all the requisite, and yes, all the immaculate skills.

Ariama's Review of Rameau: Dardanus/ Le Temple De La Gloire

Editorial Reviews

Monday, June 25, 2012 by Craig Zeichner

This recording of suites from Jean-Philippe Rameau’s tragédie en musique Dardanus and his opéra-ballet Le temple de la gloire is one of the first releases on Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra’s new label.

Jeanne Lamon's Interview with Fanfare Magazine

by Christopher Broderson

I caught up with Jeanne Lamon by telephone from her hotel room in Adelaide, Australia, where she was in the midst of a multiweek tour.

Q: The major news item, of course, is the launch of Tafelmusik’s very own label, a phenomenon that is becoming more and more common with all sorts of musical organizations—although I would say that for Baroque orchestras, there aren’t too many that have their own label, at least at the moment. You may be the first such group in North America to do so.
