This is the debut recording by The Brook Street Band, award winning specialists in eighteenth century repertoire who take their name from the London street where George Frideric Handel lived and composed for most of his working life. They complete their CD with trio sonatas by Corelli, Geminiani, Handel and Leclair.
Recording of the Month "It is a tremendous pleasure to be a reviewer when a disk like this comes along, as it does only a couple of times a year. Just to be able to listen from the first note to the last with all critical analyses beguiled, to be able to relax and enjoy while the performers and engineers do everything right. There is a perfect balance of brilliance and sweetness in the original-instrument tonality. ..." "...The cello and first violin are actual period instruments, the others are modern copies. The sound is unusually clear, realistic, and undistorted; and it will open up nicely in your surround sound player." Paul Shoemaker
