I enjoyed this delightful CD of Italian music from c.1585-1650 given by a prestigious team that played the same programme in the 2002 Ambronay Festival; the festival has an ongoing relationship with Naïve Classique and their generally desirable recordings of early music are enhanced by good recording and presentation.

Altogether stylish and a recommendable introduction to an attractive period in the development of instrumental music, based upon vocal antecedents and exploring the different expressive possibilities of solo instruments and ensembles.

This is a sequence of composers, many of them not well enough known to identify individual composing characteristics, but no matter; the gifted players hold the attention pleasurably by ringing the changes on the instruments, with solos interspersing the concerted items.
