Awards and reviews

August 2017

While the schabernacks or ‘pranks’ here won’t quite have you guffawing, it’s certainly all delivered with a merry wink…[this repertoire is] rewarding thanks to Lüthi’s playful teasings-out of jokes missed by other fine baroque bands

22nd July 2017

This disc of baroque music from Meret Lüthi’s Swiss group Les Passions de l’Ame should invoke both wry smiles and belly laughs...Much of this music is so delightful that the jokes are merely an added bonus: the little “Balletto 2” from Schmelzer’s Arie con la Mattacina is the catchiest thing I've heard in months
