Award-winning
harpsichordist Irene Roldán
(www.ireneroldan.com)
was born in southern Spain in 1997.
Described by the press as one of the
most prominent Spanish
harpsichordists on the international
scene (ABC Sevilla), Irene currently
lives and works in Basel,
Switzerland. She gained
international recognition in 2021,
when she won first prize, never
previously awarded in this
competition, as well as the audience
prize at the III. International
Harpsichord Competition «Città di
Milano». In the same year, her
ensemble Flor Galante secured the
first prize at the IV. International
Bach Competition in Berlin. One year
later, Irene was honored with the
prestigious Bach Prize and an
additional special award at the
XXXIII. International Bach
Competition held in Leipzig,
Germany.

In 1676, Thomas
Mace expresses our musical aspirations: "I
have been more Sensibly, Fervently, and
Zealously Captivated, and drawn into Divine
Raptures, and Contemplations, by Those
Unexpressible Rhetorical, Uncontroulable
Perswasions, and Instructions of Musicks
Divine Language."
Sloane
wrote in about 1794 that "There must be an
Order and just Proportion, Intricacy with
Simplicity in the Component parts, Variety
in the Mass, and Light and Shadow in the
whole, so as to produce the varied
sensations of gaiety and melancholy, of
wildness and even surprise and wonder…"
As Thomas Mace says in 1676: "…When we come
to be Masters… we can command all manner of
Time, at our own Pleasures; we Then take
Liberty for Humour and good Adornment-sake,
to Break Time; sometimes Faster, sometimes
Slower, as we perceive, the Nature of the
Thing Requires, which…adds much Grace and
Luster to the Performance."
