Corina Marti

Swiss harpsichord and recorder player Corina Marti is recognised internationally for her “strikingly superior and expressive” interpretations (Toccata), and “infallible” performances (Diapason).

After studying the Baroque repertoire in Lucerne, she devoted herself to Mediaeval and Renaissance music, which she studied at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. 

Her extensive discography ranges from the 14th-century istanpitte and keyboard intabulations to and beyond the chamber music and solo concertos of the High Baroque, reflecting the breadth of her musical interests and technical skills.  

She leads a full life as a soloist, chamber musician and teacher, travelling regularly across Europe, both Americas, the Middle and Far East. She has appeared with Hespèrion XXI, Coro della Radiotelevisione Svizzera Italiana and the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra, and is artistic co-director and founding member of La Morra.  

Her research into aspects of the repertoire and the reconstruction of Late Medieval and Early Renaissance keyboard instruments and recorders have contributed substantially to the present-day revival of these instruments. She teaches the next generation of early music performers at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and in masterclasses worldwide.
