Irene Roldán

Immerse yourself in the story of two priceless manuscripts: the Andreas-Bach-Buch and the Möller Manuscript, collected by Bach's eldest brother and teacher. The fascinating family albums reveal not only Johann Sebastian's teenage ingenuity, but also the influences that shaped him. Irene Roldán makes the harpsichord – with its 16-foot register! – vibrate in works by Buxtehude, Böhm, Marchand and Ritter, thus revealing the DNA of Bach's later masterpieces.

About the performer

Harpsichordist Irene Roldán was born in southern Spain in 1997. She began to cultivate a profound passion for this instrument and the early music world when she was only 7 years old. Her dedication led her to pursue her studies in Spain, The Netherlands, and Switzerland. For the past several years, Irene has focused her studies and research on Spanish music from the 16th to 18th centuries, with special attention to Sevillian composer Francisco Correa de Araujo, as well as Scarlatti and his contemporaries. The latter has been the theme for her debut album Scarlatti & Beyond, which was recorded in June 2023.
