The idea of collecting great versions of great musical masterpieces started a few months ago. I and a friend have been creating a list of great interpretations of great interpreters of great music from (sometimes) great musicians. We also pick the label, the recording, and the work. No need to pay more for the same recording; no need to pay less, either. Everything is set to build a great small sample of the most noteworthy work of great musicians. And BListener's Choice is the place for these.
This is a simple CD. Easy listening of very courtly music. It will be quite familiar to most listeners, and one cannot go wrong giving this Decca CD as a gift.
Christopher Hogwood directs (and plays the fortepiano) the Academy of Ancient Music on authentic instruments of the period.
