Unfortunately, our Honolulu friend stopped at the first track before turning it off. I'll give it to him/her, I didn't really care for that first track either, but the rest of the album is worth downloading. I must say, with a smile, I enjoyed the comment about the violins being 'out of tune', coming from someone living in Hawaii, the land of eukaleles, aka, out of tune guitars. (I love Hawaii, eukaleles, luaus, etc.) Enjoy!
period instruments very sensitively played - LOVELY
A fine addition to my early music collection!
I am writing this on account of the previous review, which was written obviously by someone who is not all that used to authentic instruments. While, this is not maybe the "best" of its kind, the album is worth the download, not least for the pieces and composers who are unavailable elsewhere
This is one of the worst recordings I've tried to listen to in the last several decades. The violins are often out of tune, out of synch, and out of sorts. I haven't been able to get past the first track before turning it off.
