What are 250 years any way? When you hear Ana-Marija Markovina playing C.P.E. Bach you could think: just the blink of an eye. The feelings of people of our time come to a boil, the tortured soul is torn to and fro, the music moves from cool aloofness to ethereal tenderness. In just the way perhaps the greatest of old Johann Sebastian’s great sons demanded in his treatise on keyboard performance, and thus for his own works for piano too, the young Croatian pianist immerses herself with heart and soul in Carl P.E. Bach’s aesthetic and emotional world. As a result, listeners who enter into this intimate dialogue of such clarity are drawn to her rendition in a way never seen before. Compared with this level of intensity, many a twentieth-century display of extraverted playing pales into insignificance—after all, two and a half centuries isn’t all that long ago! Find out for yourself ...

"...runs of great mastery, sparkling and lively..." (FONOFORUM 12/2008)
