New CD: "Awakening Princesses"

with Peter Holtslag, Elizabeth Kenny, Rainer Zipperling and Carsten Lohff

A unique new CD recently appeared on the Aeolus label. It makes audible some "Crown-Jewels" of original, 18th-century English recorder makers like Bressan and Stanesby. These instruments rest in the Oxford University Bate Collection and were kindly lent for a CD recording with music by Handel, Eccles, Carr, Paisible and others. The instruments are never to be leaving the Bate again which makes this enterprise unique. Peter Holtslag is joined by colleagues Elizabeth Kenny (theorbo and archlute), Rainer Zipperling (viol and cello) and Carsten Lohff (harpsichord). The 64-pages booklet includes extensive documentation and sumptious detail photographs. AEOLUS 10186
