"Visions from Estonia" seals a 'welcome return' to Budrio of the harpsichordist, pianist and organist Marju Riisikamp. In fact, she performed at Budrio in 2004, 2007 and 2012.

Marju Riisikamp is considered among the most authoritative exponents of that new interpretive school which, in the Baltic countries, is spreading the European musical culture of the Five and Seventeenth century according to an executive practice based on careful research on the original sources.

"Every instrumentalist-interpreter", Marju Riisikamp reveals to us, "is attracted by the so-called historically informed performance. But more than anything else is the overall view of the works that is entirely personal. The important thing is to express yourself and the beauty values ​​that these music infuse the public."

"My vision is the result of the study and the performance of the scores (under the guidance of Christopher Stembridge for 25 years!) On the historical organs of Arezzo, Siena, Montepulciano, Ferrara, Brescia ... It takes a lot of imagination, great ability to find the metric and melodic structures of the compositions I will present tonight ... and of course 'read' these scores with the rules of these periods (from the 17th to the 17th century) with imagination, freedom and revealing the innumerable secrets that this music suggests. A performer 'sculptor', therefore, who forms the musical text from the 'primordial chaos'."
