Vivaldi, 6 Cello Sonatas

Peter Wispelwey, Florilegium Ensemble

Just arrived the other day, giving it a first listen. Quite nice. I have no other reference point for these, but the performances here seem sensitive and holistic, rather than showy and pyrotechnic. Gentle in nature rather than all "look at me go!" Nature of the beast, perhaps.

JS Bach Sonatas for viola da gamba and harpsichord

Paolo Pandolfo, viola da gamba, Markus Hunninger, harpsichord

A beautiful conversation, virtuosity spilling all over the place (maybe in contrast to the previous disc above) recorded in absolutely sparkling sound.

Yes - but it will be a rarity soon, I'm afraid: There are signs the label agOgique is out of business. Their website is down for weeks, and most retailers list the majority of the catalogue as no longer available ... 

p.s. just sent them a message through their facebook page. Will keep you updated.

That's one of the most beautifully played and conceived cello CDs ever!!! Definitely out of print. Not one used copy to be found anywhere. (I'm glad I have one, and bought a second one for a cello playing friend.)
