From Renaissance Spain to 21st century Denmark, On a Ground is a musical journey across time and traditions,

centered around one of music's most universal elements: the

ground bass. Celebrated recorder virtuosa Michala Petri

and renowned Japanese baroque harpist Marie Nishiyama

unite to explore the expressive power of this timeless form.

Recorded, after a concerttour i Japan, including Suntory

Hall, and just before the global lockdown at Chichibu Muse

Park in Japan, the album presents intimate and evocative

interpretations of works by Diego Ortiz, Alessandro Marcello,

J.S. Bach, Erik Satie, and contemporary Danish composer

Lars Hannibal, among others. The duo's collaboration reveals

the meditative beauty and subtle intricacies of their ancient

instruments.

From the iconic Greensleeves and baroque gems to lyrical

modern compositions, On a Ground is a graceful, immersive

listening experience rooted in shared artistry and a deep

respect for musical heritage.

Recorded December 2019, Chichibu Muse Park, Japan in the

DXD format by Hironori Kosaka (OMF).
