Negative Positive
Title: fine and musical effort
Review: I don't know if the strict early music folks would approve of these interpretations--the women's voices, the significantly slower tempos, the overall "prettier" effect than that of some of the purist renditions--but the recording itself, including at times the sounds of rain captured outside the building, is admirable. It lacks some of the fat sound associated with ECM recordings (I am convinced ECM uses significant compression in their issues.) but neither is it thin as many of the Naxos efforts. The performances themselves are engaged and engaging. Its in my regular listening cycle.
Is the review positive or negative?
