CD Critiques

Since its founding Charivari Agréable has made recordings on a regular basis. A feature of its discography is that its director, Kah-Ming Ng, avoids the well-trodden paths. No Brandenburg Concertos, no Handel concerti grossi or Vivaldi's Four Seasons. He rather turns his attention to psalm settings by English composers of the 17th century, songs and dances from the Hispanic Baroque or "Music for Gainsborough by his contemporaries". All these recordings contain rare music which is seldom heard and often never recorded before. That makes the ensemble take a special place in the Early Music scene. (Music Web International)
