This recording presents the first complete recording of the surviving keyboard music of Marianna Martines, a composer and piano virtuoso in 18th-century Viennese musical life. Martines, who during her lifetime was admired for her brilliant achievements as a performer and composer, held a central position within Vienna's musical elite circles. Under the direction of conductor Cayenna Ponchione-Bailey, with pianist Idith Meshulam Korman and the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra, this release brings Martines' four surviving piano concertos, three sonatas, and her Sinfonia in C major, recorded from newly prepared critical editions. The works reveal a composer who wrote ambitiously for public performance, combining lyrical vocal passages with high technical demands, orchestral imagination, and playful formal subversion.
