David Yearsley

David Yearsley is a celebrated musicologist, organist, and early music specialist known for diving deep into the rich soundworlds of Baroque masters like Bach, Handel, and their contemporaries. A professor at Cornell University, he blends scholarly rigor with passionate performance, often resurrecting historic organs and period instruments to bring 17th- and 18th-century compositions to vivid life. His recordings, like *Bach & Sons* and *Handel's Organ Banquet*, showcase his knack for illuminating musical dynasties and forgotten gems, while projects like *In the Cabinet of Wonders* highlight his collaborative spirit in exploring Hamburg’s vibrant musical past. Whether dissecting intricate counterpoint or unearthing quirky historical anecdotes (he’s also a witty writer on music history), Yearsley bridges academia and artistry with warmth and curiosity.
