Neglected for over two hundred years, Martines was a significant singer, pianist, and composer in late eighteenth-century Vienna. She was a favourite four-hands duet partner of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and her ‘Academies’ brought together distinguished visitors with intellectuals and aristocrats for evenings of world-class music and deep conversation. This album redresses this historical omission, presenting the complete keyboard sonatas and concerti together for the first time.
