About

"Unknown' would be the best adjective at the present time to define the musical Iandscape embracing the concertos for piano (harpsichord) and orchestra from Spain throughout almost the whole of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th, as Spanish Classicism was emerging. It is the case that the survival of the Concertos which we present here for the first time, in a thorough revision and reconstruction, was most likely due to the specific location of each one of them: that by Manuel Narro, in a manuscript held in the monastery library at the Colegiata de Roncesvalles; that by Mariana Martinez, also known as Marienne von Martinez, in the musical archive of the Vienna Musikverein; and finally the concertos of Jose Palomino, in the Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal in Lisbon. We have opted for performance on the piano in all three cases, given the early arrival of the first Cristofori piano-forte on the lberian peninsula with the Iegendary castrato FarinelIi at the court of Fernando VI. Successfully combining the role of both pianist and conductor, Melani Mestre's collaborations are a catalogue of over 80 of the world leading orchestras. Melani directly inherited the cherished Catalan Piano Tradition of Enrique Granados, while commanding a vast repertoire of more than 100 concertos for piano and orchestra by Spanish composers."
