Chelys Consort of Viols: Amavi, Music for Viols and Voices
We keep writing this is as Cheryl’s Consort, so apologies if we slip; the album was actually recorded jointly with Fieri Consort and is work by Michael East, who sounds modern but died in 1648, before the (20th century) name Cheryl was even invented. East (or Easte, Est, Este) was an English organist and composer, […]

Ilya Gringolts: Pietro Locatelli, Il Labirinto Armonico: Three Violin Concertos

Yevgeny Sudbin: Scarlatti: 18 Sonatas
Ignorance is bliss in this case. We thought this CD of piano renditions of Scarlatti sonatas beautiful, but read a number of reviews that said purists might want to hear the works played on a harpsichord. Obviously, by the same token they should embrace all elements of life in the late c17th: bubonic plague, slavery, […]
