Marco Mencoboni

Marco Mencoboni

What happens when you put Scheidt, Froberger, Böhm, Bach and Haydn on one keyboard afternoon? A colourful procession of dances, variations and surprises emerges – from baroque grandeur to a classical wink. Marco Mencoboni brings more than a hundred years of German keyboard fever to life on a 16-foot harpsichord, with flair, verve and a sense of humour. No stiff stuff, but music that sparks, springs and surprises – from the first note to the final bow.
