CD Reviews

Delightful.
Matteo Noč | Rome, Italy | 02/17/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"These three bargain priced CDs offer really distinguished performances, both "historically aware" and warmly expressive: the only thing about which a period-instrument lover could quarrel, is the far richer and sweeter tone (and better intonation) of modern instruments. As for the performances, they are flawless from a philological standpoint, and convey the beauty of this music much more than many others (of any other I have heard).
In short, if you are interested in the SOUND of ancient instruments, this set is not for you; if instead you want to hear how beautiful this music is, and how subtly (AND truthfully) it can be performed by one of the world's very best chamber orchestras, look no further. This set is both delightful and a steal!"
How wonderful
Marilyn S. McDole | Madison, WI | 08/18/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This has been one of our best classical music purchases. We are purchasing classical music after a nearly 25 year hiatus. We forgot how much we love the music and how wonderful it is to listen to and forget the cares of working in a crazy world."
