Spiritillo Mediterraneo (Pentatone)
An interesting, well played programme, but with percussion where it is not required [JV]
Italophilia. Discovering the Italian Style in Handel’s London (Challenge Classics)
An enjoyable disc, although the programme could have been more adventurous [JV]
Fiddlers Three – Music from Charles II’s ‘Private Musick’ (Barn Cottage Records)
An exciting recording given an exemplary production [JV]
Enrico Gatti (violin) Praeconium solitudinis (NovAntiqua)
The performances are superb, but the concept may not appeal to everyone [JV]
Philarmonica (Alpha Classics)
A potentially interesting programme, but it tended to all blend together [DJB]
Philarmonica (Alpha Classics)
Le Consort deserves praise for bringing the music by the mysterious Mrs Philarmonica to our attention [JV]
