REVIEWS
”a deliciously serious foray into the soundscape of early Stuart intellectual and musical society.... the music stands alone and this a standout performance.... Fretwork’s musical mastery and I Fagiolini's trademark incandescent sound are perfectly married in this repertoir”
BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE
”surprises, intrigues and captivates... persuasively presented by I Fagiolini and Fretwork, past masters at this kind of thing, with exquisitely detailed word-painting, authentic pronunciation, characterful delivery,and phrasing of the greatest delicacy-what a find!”
CHOIR & ORGAN
“The collective consort is deftly balanced and instantly responsive to every nuance in Peerson’s emotive word-setting… ”
GRAMOPHONE
“Peerson’s music is quite exquisite, and I Fagiolini and Fretwork do it justice on this fine recording. I was particularly impressed by the way that the singers restrained their use of vibrato, making the interplay of contrapuntal lines so much easier to grasp.’ ”
