“One would be hard put to find as fine a collection of lute songs as these. The voice of soprano Amanda Sidebottom is crystalline in its clarity. She uses just a touch of ornamentation, always discreetly and tastefully. She has a fine sense of both text and musical rhythm with which she interprets the various bits of word painting with exquisite beauty. Lutenist Erik Ryding is the perfect partner, providing a solid and sensitive accompaniment. His rhythmic acumen is excellent, especially in the various inner voices, all of which are clear and distinct ... This is a collection that should be a must have.” Bertil van Boer (Fanfare) |
