product description

Recorded in a small medieval church in northern germany.

In the press:

English Lute society journal (08/2009):
"The mixture of timbres and textures is well-chosen to avert any suggestion of sameness. In all, a stimulating and provocative collection, and one in which any plucked string instrumentalist who enjoys playing Holborne, either solo or in consort, will find ideas worth experimenting with."
