Cecilia Bartoli maintains a near-perfect mezzo-soprano instrument, which she patently refuses to expose to material that might damage it; never will we hear Bartoli in voice-destroying roles such as Carmen nor in heavyweight mezzo parts such as those encountered in Wagner's Ring cycle. Even though she is a "mainstream" classical artist, the most ...
The music of John Jenkins, perhaps England's greatest composer of the middle seventeenth century, is much less well known than Dowland's and Byrd's before him and Purcell's of the century's end. This is because, for those who listen to early music by trying to fit it into a timeline (and we've all been guilty at times), Jenkins has an "in-between" ...

This one is a 1788 instrument with a very ringing tone, excellently captured in the recording, with a relatively small capability of shading with knee levers to change registers. ...
Two discs filled with 60 pieces of nonpareil Pièces de viole by the magnificent Marin Marais arranged in four suites and four sets and performed by the trio of bass violist Jérôme Hantaï and Alix Verzier and harpsichordist Pierre Hantaï: what more could any fan of the composer or the instrument want?
