Martines Piano Sonatas, Concertos and Sinfonia/Overture

Marianna Martines’ significance as a musician and composer in late 18th-century Vienna is increasingly recognised today. A 2024 performance of her Sinfonia in C by the Berlin Philharmonic attests to the growing esteem in which her music is held. Many of her works—long preserved only in manuscript and in sets of parts, likely used only once—are now being brought to light, newly edited, published, and recorded for the first time. Working in collaboration with musicologist Melanie Unseld and the Denkmäler der Tonkunst in Österreich, we were able to record this album using the then in-progress critical edition of Martines’ complete surviving concerti, presented here together—and alongside her sonatas—for the first time.
