  • The Imperfect Pearl — a new project

    I’m very happy to present a new project: The Imperfect Pearl. Next to Isidro Albarreal (baroque violin), Inés Salinas (viola da gamba) and Gabriele Levi, (harpsichord) I founded a new Early Music Ensemble focussed on baroque music of the 18th and 17th century.

  • Music scores to The Begger Boy — 9 variations by M. Cord-to-Krax

    I found the pretty melody of The Begger Boy in John Playford’s The Dancing Master (1651). It is a very short melody and dancers and musicians would have gone crazy if they played it the same way round and round. Here must have come into play variations/improvisations — for sure. So I decided to convert…

The event was organized by Asociación PAD and there were 3 different choreographies directed by 3 different dancers. I worked with Juan Luis Matilla in…

  • G.Ph. Telemann: Fantasia No. 10 — A Tempo giusto

    I’ve always loved this first movement of Telemann’s 10th Fantasia for solo flute. I play it very unrytmically because I feel I can tell its story much better this way. I’m a professional freelance recorder player, so if you are enjoying this video — please consider inviting me on a coffee 😉 [button link=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=STDXAZZJAGPLC” color=”black”…

  • Concert in San Roque – 09/04/15

    Next week, 09/04/15, I’m going to play a duo concert with Alejandro Casal (organ) in a village in Southern Spain –San Roque– next to Gibraltar. I am very happy about the program, since this music is one of my favorites and quite rarely chosen by programmers: 16th century diminutions on madrigals. Next to diminutions by…
