Wolf, R. Peter

Of his New York début the reviewer for The New York Times wrote “The harpsichord can seem a genteel instrument, but Peter' Wolf's debut recital. . . at Carnegie Recital Hall was about as thrilling as gentility can be.  With this performance Mr. Wolf established himself as one of the finest harpsichordists before the public today.”  Since then, he has performed widely across the United States both as soloist and as a member of various ensembles, including the Monosoff-Yeung-Wolf Trio, Apollo's Banquet, New York Baroque, The Bowers-Wolf Duo, Concertmasters, the Montclair Chamber Ensemble, and the Salt Lake Chamber Ensemble.  His most recent New York solo recital was supported by a Solo Recitalist's Grant from the National Endowment of the Arts.  A graduate of Harvard and Yale and a student of Gustav Leonhardt and Ralph Kirkpatrick, Mr. Wolf has been a member of the faculties at North Carolina State University, the State University of New York at Stony Brook, The University of Utah, and Rutgers University.  He has been a member of the editorial boards of collected editions of Jean-Baptiste Lully and Jean-Philippe Rameau.
