CD Reviews

Beautiful

J.H. "Jon" | Seattle, WA United States | 02/04/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'll be brief as I'm just passing through so to speak. I've had this cd for several years. Over time it has become one of my favorites, one which I can play and enjoy repeatedly without tiring of it. I would highly recommend this cd if you appreciate early french baroque (such as Couperin and Lully).

Each time I hear the opening of the first suite -- Suite I -- I am amazed. The emotion, tone, voice, melody are at once extremely sad, fragile, elegant, but above all beautiful.

I also own the 2nd book of viol pieces, and prefer the 3rd to the 2nd."
