Reviews

'Some of the variations are very virtuosic, and this gives some indication of the technical skills of the recorder players in England around 1700' (MusicWeb International)» More

'Murphy's tonally secure and engaging recorder playing is the most attractive feature of the entire disc, which offers a useful look into the musical world of the gentlemen amateurs of England in the late seventeenth century' (AllMusic, USA)» More
