Repertoire

  • While the notion of »Early Music« spans an extended period of time, Cornelia Osterwald concentrates on 17th and 18th century music. Along with her historically accurate performance she transports baroque’s tonal variety into present day concert venues. On the harpsichord, the fortepiano and the piano.
  • From early baroque to romanticism – she performs the styles and expressions the composers intended at their time. Cornelia Osterwald stakes her claim as a soloist, accompanist and chamber musician.
