Naive E 8884
[55 mins, October 2002, Grenoble]

A delightful CD of Italian music from c.1585-1650 given by a prestigious team that played this programme in the Ambronay Festival; the festival has an ongoing relationship with Naive Classique and their generally desirable recordings of early music are enhanced by good presentation.

Altogether stylish and a recommendable introduction to this attractive period of development of instrumental music, based upon vocal antecedents and exploring different expressive possibilities of solo instruments and ensembles. It is a sequence which holds the attention pleasurably by ringing the changes on the instruments, with solos interspersing the concerted items.
