CD Reviews

Vigorus and diverse music
palladio98 | Chappaqua, NY United States | 01/04/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Although this music does not approach the depth and profundity of Handel and Bach, these showpieces offer exotic scoring and vigorous playing that more than make up this. The King's Consort is aggressive without being grating, and plays with warm-blooded enthusiasm that is worthy of the hot-tempered Venetian composer.Highly recommended for all lovers of Baroque music."
Extravagant Baroque Multi-Instrumental Concertos
rodboomboom | Dearborn, Michigan United States | 05/05/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Fascinating reproduction using period instruments which not in use anymore which were even very extravagant for Italy at the time. Vivaldi scored these for elite musician groups for church festivals and special concert events.King's Consort led by Robert King provide spirited and passionate renderings of these colorful baroque pieces. Layers of independent playing instruments or semi-independent result in a warmth and richness quality which will be very pleasing to all baroque lovers."
