For thirty years now, Bulgarian violinist Iskrena Yordanova has been living in Lisbon. Everything she does as a musician is related to Baroque music. She has devoted much of her time to discovering ancient manuscripts, which she brings back to life with her baroque ensemble "Divino Sospiro".
"There was no Baroque ensemble at the time, and our idea was to create something of high quality that would represent Portugal," recalls Iskrena Yordanova. "This year, the Divino Sospiro ensemble turns 20, so it has already traveled a serious path, performing at festivals worldwide and recording important works. In 2014, we established a research center with the same name, where I serve as scientific director. It deals not only with the repertoire from a scholarly perspective but is also directly connected to its performance. In this way, we have rediscovered many works from the Portuguese and Italian Baroque."
