About
is perhaps in these Fantasias for viols Purcell's music is revealed in its most intimate expression. A real peak of polyphony, which only the 'Musical Offering' and the 'Art of Fugue' by JS Bach deserve to be compared. This whole incredible thing, is the work of a young man of 21 years, on the edge of his only too brief but meteoric career. Sit Fast is incomparable in this music: all muted colors and arranged with admirable subtlety.

I really enjoyed this … [Ensemble Sit Fast] have a lovely feel for the rhythm of Purcell’s harmonies.
25th October 2015
These short, dense pieces have a mesmerising purity, squeezing dissonances with ghostly quietude...The French ensemble Sit Fast has already recorded Bach’s Art of Fugue. This is a natural next step, if backwards in chronology, played with elegance and precision.
