  • Incomplete list of instrumentally performed Renaissance music recordings

    I’m very interested in instrumentally performed Renaissance music, and I very much enjoy listening to it. But it’s not that easy to find recordings of that musical era without singers. (This is not really true, as there is a vast amount of solo lute/organ/harpsichord recordings. Which is why they are being omitted, sorry!) So, here…

  • 1st Price — International Early Music Competition Gijón with Vox Tremula

    On the 11.06.2018 we won the first prize at the International Early Music Competition Gijón with my recorder consort Vox Tremula. Though it is not very obviuos to compete in music, we decided to participate, hoping for it to give us some more visibility and concert programmers trust 😉

  • 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…

  • Vertebración VI — 2016

    Last 23rd & 24th of February I was happy to play next to Bárbara Sela and Alejandra Fernández in a contemporary dance performance at Teatro de la Maestranza in Seville. 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…
