Reviews

16th June 2012

This double-EP offers differing takes on 17th-century musical strains, pairing one disc of romantically themed pieces by English composers with a suite of five Mexican songs arranged as a tribute to Frida Kahlo.

17th June 2012

It takes chutzpah to programme Hank Williams alongside William Lawes...Elsewhere, the 17th-century fantasies, lute songs, dialogues and dances in this half-English, half-Mexican double-album should tickle the fancy of any Early Music purist.

METRO 11th June 2012

Musical standards are high, their programming ingenious and their photos are terrific.
