FanFARE MAGAZINE
Marianna Martines: The Complete Keyboard Works
SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2026
“The performances are excellent. Meshulam Korman’s playing is fluent and tasteful, just what this music needs. The slow movements feature a good sense of line and the more brilliant outer movements deft articulation. Cayenna Ponchione-Bailey and the Oxford Philharmonic (on modern instruments) sound fine here, with rhythms sharply defined and tonal quality excellent.”
