Reviews

‘Bursting with irresistable charm and refinement this is a warm and finely blended disc that soothes as well as charms … the sort of recording upon which Hyperion may rest its reputation: a superbly played, recorded and produced exploration of a musical nook heretofore little known but promising much pleasure to the listener. This delicious music is beautifully and skilfully rendered by Holman's players’ (Fanfare, USA)
