Inventions is a fascinating trans-national project to promote and present unusual music for solo harpsichord, drawing primarily on historical and contemporary music by female composers from Scotland, Ireland and England. Three beautiful new commissions are set alongside historical works, making links between different countries and centuries, and performed by Katarzyna Kowalik, a creative and skilled performer of both historical and contemporary keyboard music.

This fascinating programme explores the instrumental music that passed between these ports and countries in the 16th and 17th centuries, from dances to sonatas, including Pavans inspired by John Dowland’s famous Lachrimae to elaborate music by major figures such as the German/Danish organist Dietrich Buxtehude, a precursor of Bach. In the virtuosic hands of Gawain Glenton’s In Echo, these rarely-heard gems will sparkle as brightly as they did in centuries past.
