Purcell - Ten Sonatas in Four Parts
Retrospect Trio Playing gently into my practice. I just had a colleague, a surgeon, on the phone, to talk about a patient. He heard the beautiful sounds and he said: "Wow, what a lovely music!". And that's just what it is!

I'm back! Something happened to my ability to sign in, and it took a while to get it fixed. Anyway, I've been enjoying this set lately. Lots of very well recorded violin fireworks!

More musical bliss from the book above:
CD 2 Works from Gabrieli, Malvezzi, Purcell, Monteverdi, Marini, de Cabezón, Arcadelt, Holborne, Marenzio, de' Cavalieri. The selection of the works in this collection is really done excellently. I'm completely immersed in Sempé's world, just like I was yesterday. See my post here: http://www.audioaficionado.org/class...tml#post755161
