Rosana Lanzelotte

Considered one of the best Brazilian harpsichord players, Rosana Lanzelotte has performed at important halls throughout her country as well as in Europe, including the Wigmore Hall (London), Salle Gaveau (Paris) and Carnegie Hall (NY). She recorded six solo works, among which Nazareth and The Brazilian Harpsichord, devoted to Brazilian music of the 20th century, pointed out as one of the five best releases of the year. She has recorded the first harpsichord version of the The Seven Last Words by Haydn and the Sonatas by the Portuguese composer Pedro Antonio Avondano. Her extensive research on the composer Sigismund Neukomm led to the CD, recorded with Ricardo Kanji, both nominated for the 2009 Latin Grammy and awarded the Bravo Prize. In 2006 she has been honored as Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, by the French government.
