    The idea of ancient, medieval and renaissance music rearranged for harpsichord, caught my curiosity. Well, none of that here. Basically 17th century harpsichord music. having said that, and to be fair to the artist, the compositions and the performance was pleasant enough. good for a sunday morning listen.

    5 out of 5 stars well-kept secrets.......2004-12-15

    Another gem from this artist. The excellence of the artist shines through with this cd. As a listener, Virginia enlightens and educates as she produces such movement in her works with the keyboard - that truly provide you with a reflection of the many facets of early music from those times. A sheer joy.
