CD Reviews

Cantico

Ann Muto | Cupertino, CA United States | 05/12/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a delightful collection of flute and harp pieces from the 13th-17th centuries. The selections combine different tempos and various combinations of flute, violin, and harp that suggest more performers than the artists listed. The CD leaves me with the impression of having spent a wonderful afternoon in the English countryside."

Beautiful collection of music

"The caliber of musicianship is outstanding...every piece is a pleasure to listen to. Michelle and Melinda are highly talented. But more than that, the collection as a whole is really entertaining. The songs are varied and presented in such an interesting way that keeps the listener involved. This is a perfect cd for your morning cup of coffee or the background music for your cocktail party!"
