Boston Baroque, Martin Pearlman & Christina Day Martinson - Vivaldi: The Four Seasons - Geminiani: Concerti grossi Nos. 4 & 12 (2009)

The talented young soloist Christina Day Martinson is a native of Saskatchewan, Canada, and twice a National Finalist and prize-winner in the Canadian Music Competition. She received her Bachelor of Music degree from the New England Conservatory, holds a diploma from the Royal Conservatory in the Netherlands, and earned a Master of Music degree in historical performance from Boston University. It was at the Boston University School of Music that Ms. Day Martinson made the decision to concentrate on period violin and baroque performance. She studied performance practice with Martin Pearlman, who became her mentor and provided her first professional opportunities on period violin.

Telarc’s premier ensemble, Boston Baroque, has enjoyed international critical and popular success with releases such as Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos and Orchestral suites, Handel’s Concerti Grossi Op. 6, Water Music and Royal Fireworks Music, and choral recordings including Handel’s Messiah, Bach’s Mass in B Minor, Mozart’s Requiem and Monteverdi’s Vespro della Beata Virgine.

Martin Pearlman is among this country’s leading interpreters of baroque and classical music on both period and modern instruments. Pearlman has been acclaimed for more than thirty years in the orchestral, choral, and operatic repertoire from Monteverdi to Beethoven.
