One of today's top specialists in early music, and the music of Bach in particular, Davitt Moroney thrilled audiences at the 2008 Berkeley Festival & Exhibition with his discovery and perform- ance of Alessandro Striggio's enormous Missa sopra Ecco sì beato giorno. As a keyboard performer, he has recorded over 60 discs of music of the 16th through 18th centuries, winning several Gramophone Awards, France's Grand Prix du Disque de l'Académie Charles Cros, and other international prizes. Over a one-weekend marathon, Moroney will perform both books of J. S. Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier, one of the finest monuments in the history of keyboard music.
