Unger's approach is accordingly more muscular than elegant but, although the very first track seems to presage heavy-handedness, she quickly settles down to a manner that is agile and easy-flowing, while not lacking in boldly projected articulation and detail. The continuo is tight and spirited, and while a touch more dreaminess would be welcome in certain places, in general these pieces are convincingly brought to life.
