Michael Schneider 8-CD box set - great playing at bargain pr

Wai Kit Leung | CA USA | 08/17/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This 8-CD compilation on the Capriccio label features the great and versatile German recorder player Michael Schneider, on a variety of German, French, English as well as Italian sonatas. The playing is exemplary. CDs 1 and 2 are newly recorded for this album (as opposed to his earlier recording of Handel and Telemann). The rest are taken from his earlier solo albums. This is excellent value for the price. Snap it up without hesitation.
