About the artist
...
The world-renowned Swiss born harpsichord and recorder virtuoso, Corina Marti, is recognized internationally for her “strikingly superior and expressive” interpretations (Toccata), and “infallible” performances (Diapason).
On Stage
She leads an active life, performing as a soloist and chamber musician throughout Europe, both North and South America, the Middle East and Asia. She has appeared with numerous early music ensembles and orchestras (including Hespèrion XXI, Coro della Radiotelevisione Svizzera Italiana, Kore and the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra), and is co-director and founding member of La Morra, an award-winning late medieval and early renaissance music ensemble which “never fails to keep the listener’s attention alive” (Gramophone).
Diskography
Her extensive discography, ranging from fourteenth-century istanpitte and intabulations to solo concertos and chamber music of the high baroque and contemporary music reflects the breadth of her musical interests and technical skills.
Research
She is a leading pioneer in the development of late medieval and early renaissance keyboard instruments, working with makers on creating reconstructions and and spending many hours in libraries researching repertoire. This work has contributed substantially to the present-day revival of these instruments.
Award

She enjoys spreading her knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to the next generation of players, both through her teaching at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and also at master classes and music courses throughout the world. She has been a guest professor for medieval recorder at the Hochschule für Musik in Freiburg , Germany
