"This album could be better only if they could find a way to scent it with freshly-baked cookies.”

Bradley Lehman, American Record Guide

 

"Natural and assured throughout...moves with utmost liquidity and poise"

Andrew J. Sammut, EMAg, Early Music America

 

"They play naturally and directly, with palpably genial and unpressured give and take...An enchanting disc.”

Jed Distler, Classics Today

“The timbral combination is so pleasing that it will leave the listener astonished that there aren’t more recordings like this.”

Rick Anderson, CD Hotlist

“…the performances are excellent in every way.”

Francis Knights, Early Music (UK)

“This recording is simply a delight to the ear.…such a wealth of musical pleasure… an illuminating release. I can assure any skeptics that a harpsichord and a fortepiano performing together tickle the ear with a wealth of refreshing sonorities, captured on this recording with lifelike clarity. You will rarely hear the thick contrapuntal lines of the Bachs set in such bright relief. The tangy piquancy of the timbres brings an extra interest to the melodic interplay.

Our musicians play this big chunk of music in the same way they play all the rest of the program, which is to say with brio and panache.

All around, an illuminating release.”

Michael de Sapio, Fanfare
