The players of the upper lines are well matched in tone and approach, over purposeful continuo support and in clear textures, well caught by the recording. It’s a pleasure to hear this talented and thoughtful group – as it is to encounter the music of the versatile De Croes.

These are bright and alert performances that suit the music well, and the playing is tonally refined. Listen, for example, to Garcia and Soria in the central Adagio of the Trio Sonata No. 2, and you can’t fail to notice the grace and sensitivity of their dialogue with each other. All goes well in these readings, with no rushing or pushing. Linn’s engineering is, as expected, outstanding. The instruments have a strong, realistic presence, and are optimally in balance. You can almost reach out and touch the harpsichord.

This is so delicious that it's tempting simply to suggest that you go and buy it. But of course I'll elaborate...A debut disc – the result of success at the York Early Music Competition – from a young Baroque ensemble possessed of all the flair, creative rapport and passion required to make the music of this era such a thrilling listen.
