“One man and four stirings mesmerizing more than 2000 people … an indescribable palette of colours, or contrasts … an extraordinary demonstration of thought, of mastery, of style” Basler Nachrichten “Fournier's rendition of the Cello Suites displays more aristocratic, more 'refined' playing than Casal's, but its equally dedicated. It's also recorded with a fullness of tone which still makes the instrument sound almost alarmingly present.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2007 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Hasse: Salve Regina
“During this visit, these young ladies were so obliging as to sing me a salve regina, lately set by their father, in duo. It is an exquisite composition, full of grace, taste and propriety.” So wrote the english traveller charles burney in 1772. The “father” was Johann Adolf Hasse, one of the 18th century’s most famous composers – and here he is in “a delightful programme, thoughtfully put together and very well executed” (Gramophone) “Hasse's unique combination of fire, lyricism and elegance is perfectly captured here. Bernarda Fink, however, weighs down her line with dramatic excesses, marring an otherwise commendable disc.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2007 *** | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |
