Les Saisons Amusantes
Linn CKD 070
A rare opportunity to hear Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons' in a genuine eighteenth-century
arrangement for recorders, violin, continuo and hurdy gurdy! Music of Nicolas
Chédeville and winner of the-Diapason D'Or,
France
Nigel Eaton's hurdy-gurdy playing is extraordinarily agile . No matter how
many seasonal offerings you may already have, don't hesitate to add this one
. the Palladian Ensemble and their three guests make the most of their opportunities
with verve, virtuosity and varied instrument colour.
(Gramophone)
.. the performances exude the frisson of a good-natured jam session between
virtuosos who like to flirt as well as dazzle.
