CD Reviews

The Best set I have overall

A. Chapman | UK | 04/14/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"In my view the best set of Op4. Better than Pinnock/Preston/English Concert and the AAM/Egarr and Collegium Aureum/ Ewerhart. See my review of AAM/Egarr for more detail. I admit I have only 3 other sets but probably more than most. Light on its feet with nimble Church organ ( some mechanical noises )Nicely judged and played. I did not like it so much on first listening but it grew on me. No problem with Opus 7 either and still better than Pinnock and at least the equal of Van Asperen - the latter let down by a curious background rushing noise inthe recording but otherwise excellent particularly the quicker movements. Slimline 2cd set."
