A recording of recorder music from late 17th- and early 18th-century London: sonatas, suites, divisions, and solos from early English recorder instruction books. Paisible, Topham, Daniel Purcell, Mercy, Finger, Händel, Corelli and more. Corelli’s Folia (op. V no XII) is complete on the recording; the snippet here is a shortened sample, the ‘Reader’s Digest’ version.

Music close to my heart, and played with some excellent colleagues: Borys Medicky, harpsichord; Lucas Harris, Baroque guitar and archlute; Joëlle Morton, bass viol; and Nadina Mackie-Jackson, Baroque bassoon.

‘Si l’angélisme est une entreprise, alors celle de ces musiciens de Toronto est promise à une belle prospérité…les pièces sur ce disque constituent de beaux exemples de musique profane anglaise du 17e siècle…jouées avec brilliance par les musiciens torontois. Alison Melville est une interprète de premier niveau…’ Le Scena musicale (QC)
