Wanda Landowska was a Polish-born harpsichordist and pianist, one of the central figures in the twentieth-century revival of the harpsichord.

In the Pristine catalogue she appears in Domenico Scarlatti recordings made for the Scarlatti Society in 1934.

Landowska’s playing was vivid, commanding and historically transformative, even where later ideas of early-music practice would take different paths.

Her page is essential for the harpsichord strand. Landowska gives the catalogue a keyboard pioneer with iron will, antique colour and theatrical voltage.
