Reviews

'This is a beautiful recital, the fruit of the chamber music vocation of five musicians, who take pleasure in recreating a supposedly pre-war Viennese moment ...'

A Disc of the Month: 'Above all, Ticciati conveys the greatest elegance to a world-class orchestra, finely crafted down to the minute details of the accompaniment.'

'Their rich, warm sound comes across best in A solis ortus cardine and in the superb motet Media Vita of the title ...'

'Lovers of the experimental will undoubtedly enjoy the result, for Romaniuk is a first-rate instrumentalist with a solid background in both past and modern instruments.'

'The Scottish ensemble displays fine instrumental skills, enhanced by an airy and unaffected sound recording.'

'This is the second of a pair of CDs evoking the lively world of the 18th-century Musical Society of Edinburgh ... the amount of detail captured in the recordings is indeed impressive.'

'... the major works here are given absolutely inspiring performances. Strongly recommended.'

'The result is superb in its elegance and depth.'

'I think the sheer variety and range of rhythmic patterns on display is a large part of what makes this album so inescapably enjoyable ... I cannot rate this groundbreaking album highly enough.'
