Dryades Consort deliver Caspar Othmayr's Gifts
If you enjoy early music at all, give this release a listen.
Les Escapades revive Georg Christoph Strattner sacred music
Not a lot of Strattner's music has survived. Based on what I heard here, I hope more will be recorded.
Neumeyer Consort entertains with Boismortier
These are fine performances. Boismortier knew how to write a melody, and the consort seems to relish every one of them. Their playing has the refined elegance Parisien audiences of the day would have expected.
Christmas in Leipzig traces tradition of excellence
Peter Groner directs the assembled forces in loving performances of these works. The choruses, echoing through the sanctuary have a grandiose warmth to them.
