There's something very appealing about the idea of a consort of instruments: a happy, compatible group of viols or recorders or some combination thereof making agreeable sounds together, be it a dance, a fantasia, or an arrangement of a song. The thing that listeners notice immediately is how well the instruments sound together, and indeed, the timbres of Renaissance strings and winds--thanks to the predominance of resonating wood, gut strings, and the occasional natural reed--create a far more mellow, sweet, and warm sound than we usually hear from modern instruments. This disc features a consort of recorders of all shapes and sizes; the music is by Byrd, Ferrabosco, and several lesser- known composers. There's nothing fancy here, just straightforward, honest, flawless performances of music that, long before television, ordinary people would have played for an evening's entertainment. --David Vernier

not the best.......2002-09-02

I don't think this is a very important cd. I like the repertory, excluding the usual ones (like castello sii) but I don't like c.p recorder playing so much. He belong to the so called nervous recorder player type, the ones who make the fast sequences of notes a little bit ahead of time, and then stop to wait the continuo at the cadenza. Is just little tiny bit, but happens all the time, and for the listener is like raiding a crazy horse in the far west. Also the well trained ear can hear a not 100% clean technique, sometimes harsh and erratic when you expect a smooths links between the notes. All of this IMHO is a little bit annoying because here we are talking about a very renown player.
Also I have to say that I'm not agree with the overall phrasing I found somehow stiff and not rhetorical, fixated with the idea that proportio means keeping the beat no matter what happens musically. I'm saying this not to diminish c.p. who I respect, is only to keep things in proportion, if you are looking for the best recorder cd ever, look elsewhere.

Fabulous Recorder Music!.......1998-10-29

This is the CD that turned me on to early music. It is simply fabulous. Jakob Lindberg is the better known artist, and his work on this CD is as good as on his other disks, but it is Pehrsson's recorder playing which makes this disk so amazing. The expressiveness and fluidness of his playing makes one note seem to flow inevitably into the next. If you own only one disk which features recorder music, let this be the one.

Telemann: Double Concertos with recorder
~ Michael McCraw.......2005-05-31

The recorder is an instrument that gets allot of flack and is seen by many as instrument that is played by kids and one that is abandoned later in life for other instruments. I played the recorder as a kid and I wish I had stayed with it instead of discarding it. Telemann shows with this double concertos for the recorder that it is not some lame kiddie instrument but musical instrument that is just as beautifull to listen to as any other classical instrument.

Tempo Tempo Tempo.......2005-05-10

Telemann's double concerto for bassoon and recorder is one of my all-time favorite baroque pieces. Unfortunately, it is tough to find an recording where the ensemble is willing to take a crack at a lilting tempo. This recording is probably one of the only recordings you will find with an up-speed tempo that maintains the precise technical accuracy which Telemann's virtuosic writing demands. I highly recommend this recording!

Historical accuracy in wind playing.......2000-06-15

Michael McCraw is excellent in this recording of music on period instruments. Music sounded different in the Baroque era of music when played on instruments of the day. Because of technological advances in the equiptment used to construct instruments, performers demands for changes to make the instruments easier to play, and changing views on the roles of specific instruments in ensembles most instruments have become more refined, and with that, sound different. The Baroque bassoon was a smaller instrument than the modern Heckel bassoon, and it had many less keys, making variety of pitches and intonation challenging. The Baroque bassoon also sounds softer. Until the middle of the Baroque era, the bassoon was used almost exclusively to double the basso part (cellos, harpsichord), but with composers like Telemann, Vivaldi, and Boismortier, the bassoon came into its own as a solo instrument. Perviously, when it was used to double the basso part, it added an articulated texture, and this sound carries over into the early solo bassoon literature. McCraw thoughtfully uses this sound in this recording, and his technical facility is second to none. A fine recording!
