Works of Mozart and J. S. Bach Hailed for her energetic and powerfully shaped performances, Marcia Hadjimarkos is one of the most respected names in the field of early keyboard performance. The impact of her playing on this delicate instrument with its nuanced sound palette, is huge, both in her physical approach and fully inhabited expression of the music. This is a rare opportunity to hear great keyboard works on the intimate and enchanting clavichord!

“This player is no bookish antiquarian. Hadjimarkos plays with boundless energy, taking risks (but never tumbling) at breakneck tempi, on an instrument which is notoriously difficult to manage”. —Seen and Heard
