Martines: The Complete Keyboard Works presents the first complete recording of the surviving keyboard music of Marianna Martines (1744-1812), a composer, keyboard virtuoso, and cultural force in eighteenth-century Viennese musical life. Admired in her lifetime for her brilliance as both performer and composer, Martines occupied a central position within the city’s elite musical circles, yet her instrumental music has remained largely absent from the recorded canon. Led by conductor Cayenna Ponchione-Bailey, with pianist Idith Meshulam Korman and the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra, this release brings together Martines’s four surviving keyboard concertos, three sonatas, and her Sinfonia in C major, recorded from newly prepared critical editions. Martines: The Complete Keyboard Works is now available on all major streaming platforms.
