Royal Recorder Concertos, Review
Pizzicato, France, October 2013
From the outset, we are seduced by the opulence of the sound, which reflects a generosity and a lively game of interpretation that captivate from the first track. Despite their small staff, Arte dei Suonatori creates a fat, opulent and almost orchestral sound, in contrast to the tangy and sometimes spindly sounds we hear so often these days. And – this opulent sound is by no means synonymous with heaviness or opacity.
The melodic lines are clearly drawn, Arte dei Suonatori once again seduces you by a living interpretation with alert and flexible playing. A clearly controlled volubility which excludes any bavardage… This production brightly lit a piece of history, sometimes less known, but nevertheless of very big value and worth the attention.
