Silvia Marquez - Marquez: Herbania

Yes, there is 20th-Century Spanish music written for such an old instrument as the harpsichord! Composers do not impose limits: they love its rythm, timbre, they love dreaming the past. Following the traces of her exciting last CD Chaconnerie �including Latin Grammy nominated Montuno by Roberto Sierra�, harpsichordist Silvia M�rquez Chulilla presents here a stunning bouquet of pieces composed between 1952 (on a Pleyel harpsichord!) and 1996. Apparently a feminine world, it was the charismatic Wanda Landowska who inspired Manuel de Falla, the first leading composer of the 20th century to turn his gaze to the harpsichord. Then many composers from the 20th century enthusiastically wrote for Antoinette Vischer, Annelie de Man, Elisabeth Chojnacka, and Goska Isphording.
