Listen
The new Quintana’s cd “I canti dell’altalena” is focused on folk tunes of the Mediterranean area (from Spain to Lebanon) including also Sephardic love songs, Baroque instrumental pieces and some eastern melodies. The choice of the compositions was led by musicological research of both musicians and it is a fruit of their prodigious friendship.
ABOUT ME

She performs regularly as a soloist, as well as a basso-continuo player of early music ensembles such as La Folia Barockorchester & Collegium 1704.
