ABOUT
Martines: The Complete Keyboard Works
A new album from pianist Idith Meshulam Korman, Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra, and conductor Cayenna Ponchione-Bailey
“There is a gorgeous timelessness to Martines’s music which transcends instruments, performance styles and concert settings — inviting listeners into a sound world that is immediately rewarding and deeply enjoyable."
— Cayenna Ponchione-Bailey
Marianna Martines: The Complete Keyboard Works is the first complete recording of the surviving keyboard music of Marianna Martines (1744–1812), a composer, keyboard virtuoso, and cultural force at the heart of eighteenth-century Viennese musical life. Led by conductor Cayenna Ponchione-Bailey, with pianist Idith Meshulam Korman and the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra,, this major interpretative and restorative project brings together Martines’ four surviving keyboard concertos, three sonatas, and Sinfonia in C major, performed on modern instruments from newly prepared critical editions.
Because Martines’s scores survive in scattered and sometimes problematic sources, significant editorial work underpins the project. Working from newly prepared critical materials and manuscript sources, Ponchione-Bailey developed a full set of practical orchestral parts and marked scores, contributing performing insights back into the ongoing scholarly editions. The project originated with Idith Meshulam Korman’s determination to bring the concertos into the mainstream repertoire. The result is not simply a recording, but a long-term advocacy initiative designed to secure Martines’ rightful place within the Classical canon.
