A first-time piano recording for the surviving music by a neglected female composer of 18th-century London.
Despite her Italian name, Elisabetta de Gambarini (1731-1765) was born and lived in London, as the daughter of a well-connected Italian couple: her father a diplomat, her mother a singer. Elisabetta evidently inherited her mother’s musicianship, and made a name as a pianist, singer and later impresario and even conductor, at a time when such leadership and management roles in creative life were almost exclusively taken by men.
Her two printed collections of music were published in 1748, and therefore count as the work of a prodigiously talented teenager.
Opus 1 is a set of six sonatas, Opus 2 a collection of dances and independent pieces. In both cases, Elisabetta seems to have composed them with a pedagogical purpose in mind, or at least the profitable publishing industry for teaching pieces, catering to the affluent market of amateur musicians.
Gambarini must have been familiar with the sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti, but her music sings with a voice of its own. Her modulations add novelty, colour and pleasing texture; they are never arbitrary, fussy or predictably chromatic as in Paradisi’s sonatas. She avoids repetitive sequences and brings more harmonic precision and economy to her sonatas than Pescetti or Geminiani did in theirs.
