Different Bach
Although I already owned 7 CDs with one or more of Bach's violin concertos I could not resist buying this one because of the high regard I have for Monica Huggett and Sonnerie. This CD has 4 concertos, BWVs 1052 and 1056, reconstructed from harpsichord concertos, and ...

Reassessment
Having heard so many mediocre performances of Telemann, I'd come to think of him as the most over-rated rediscovered genius of early music. In fact, I've been shunning concerts and new CDs of his work for years, and I've laughed smugly at the standard musicologist's ...

Finally a soprano with lyric beauty
Much of vocal pedagogy today focuses on how to make loud singers. Opera is everything and beauty and intonation are sometimes left at the wayside for the sake of power. But the music of Bach is certainly not about volume. Nancy Argenta sings these cantatas with a ...

GREAT WORK MUSIC
Great work music, great travel music. Wonderful upbeat and get-you-going music for all things you do. Even NAXOS brand CDs don't come close to matching the preformances on this disc. Like the Masterpeice Theater theme song? Brandenburg Concerto by Bach is done ...

A Real Jem at a fashion jewellery price
OK, early 18th Century music with harpsichords in the back and foreground is not to everyone's taste, but this recording is certainly worth trying. Its melodic, delicate, charming - everything love should be. Its worth getting the CD for Nancy Argenta's singing ...

A breath of new life!
I'll make this quick: Halls is AMAZING. He and the ensemble breathe new life into what is a very fixed part of the repertoire. Take good players and great music, add rubato, interesting ornamentation, and passion, and the result is a must-have CD.

Great jazz--great music
It had been a long time since I heard Jacques Loussier. Most of it devoted to the baroque music he so beautifully paraphrases in this album. Although his Bach is great, the disscovery of his Haendel is one of the great plusses of this opus. The French baroque musicians ...

You've come a long way, Biber!
I first heard the Rosary sonatas in a small church in Cambridge MA sometime in the Jurassic 60s or 70s. At that time, only one performance of any Biber was available on vinyl LP. Now there are recordings of the Rosary by baroque violinists R Goebel, A Manze, J ...

The sonata perfected
At the very beginning of the 17th century, the Italians were busy completely reforming music, and ushering in what would come to be called the Baroque. The main development was in vocal music, with a desire to re-create the sounds of the ancients. This gave rise to ...

The Best Biber Mysteries
Note that this is volume two. I've reviewed volume one in more detail. Huggett's Biber is by far the most dramatically expressive; her fierce use of bridge tones and her bow work may not be to everyone's taste, but she certainly captures the spirit of Biber's religious ...

I've been a fan of classical music since I was a child. "Movies Go Baroque" CD is a magnificent collection of classical standards from various movies from the late 80's to the early 90's. I love the classical music standards from Dangerous Liaisons, Valmont, and ...

breathtaking
Having had this cd previously and worn it out; I was anxious and pleased to find another through Amazon and in such good condition. The pieces are so beautiful and beautifully played. My favorite piece, however, is Albinoni's Adagio (track 14); so simple but ...
