Since
the Renaissance to the present, the “two keyboard” formation has
always interested composers. This practice, in which permits 2
interpreters to perform music together (by the multiplicity of the
keyboard) was favoritized in various European courts. The most
illustrative example is Padre Soler and his royal student.
Rather reserved to secular music, the practice of
the two keyboard instruments has even lead the Italian and the Spanish
clergy to build the grand religious structures for two organs. |

Gabrielle
Marcq |
The
French harpsichordist Gabrielle Marcq graduated from the Conservatoire
National Superieure de Musique de Paris. She obtained a 1st
prize (and 1st nominated) in harpsichord and in basso continuo
in the classes of Robert Vernon-Lacroix and Laurence Boulay. She also
participated paralelly in numerous international academias such as in
Clissons (France), St;-Jacques de Compostelle (Spain), Mateus
(Portugal) and benefited numerous advice from Kenneth Gilbert, Raphael
Puyana, Glen Wilson, and Huguette Dreyfuss.
She
won a grant from the Gulbenkian
Foundation of Lisbon that permitted her to devote
her musical studies in the Portuguese harpsichord repertoire under the
directon of Cremile Rosado Fernandes. Under the leadership and guidance of
Prof. Grehard Doderer, Gabrielle Marcq was assured the modern edition and
analysis of the 12 sonatas for harpsichord of the 18th century
Portuguese composer F.X. Baptista. Later,
she obtained her Diplome Superieure d’Analyse de l’Ecole Normale de
Musique de Paris. |

Gabrielle
Marcq is the first french harpsichordist to persue this path in which
makes her one of the rare specialist of this specific repertoire. She
performs on an unknown instrument (a copie realized by J.C. Neupert), an
Antunes of 1758, which is one of the rare Portuguese harpsichord that
illustrate and witnesses for us a high standard of instrument
making of the Lusitanian School. Gabrielle Marcq has also devoted her
activities in chamber music with various formations such as L’Ensemble
Helios (prize winner of many foundations like Gyorgy Cziffra, Yehudin
Menuhin, and from the Musique d’Ensemble de Rrueil Malmaison). Her
musical experience and curiosity (she holds
as well a Diplome Superieure d’Enseignement du Piano and a Diplome
Superieure de musique de chambre a l’Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris)
has helped her to construct a European repertoire that ranges from the 16th
to the 20th century in all its multiplicity of styles and
languages.
Gabrielle
Marcq is regularly invited as soloiste in France and abroad, in recitals
and on radio.
Her
first recording dedicated to Manuel Rodrigues Coelho, was greeted by the
critics. Holding a CA, Gabrielle Marcq was a Prof. of harpsichord at the
CNR of Limoges and now teaches at l’ENM de Creteil. |
