| What the critics are saying about the Venere Lute Quartet... "...A
world of lightness, space and clarity. Seated around a table, conversing in music
with whispered tones, the Venere Lute Quartet helps sharpen our sense of hearing...
Un piccolo miracolo!" "A
quartet of lutes opens up a host of exciting possibilities for harmony, intricate
rhythms, counterpoint, and syncopation, and they are all delightfully exploited
on this disc..." "Everything
about the CD is good. The sound of the lutes is absolutely delectable… the
group seems to run the gamut of expressive effects that one can produce with such
an ensemble.…Very highly recommended..." "…the
Venere Lute Quartet...performed delicate, tactile arrangements of Palestrina mass
movements and motets." "...lots
of nimble divisions, by members of the Quartet...[played] with an infectious verve,
displaying a fine technical command..." "…a
unique recording to be sought for its originality...The quality of performance
throughout is highly accomplished...With Sweet Division it is not possible to
single out a best track, for all are a delight..." "…
refreshingly without pretense...each player is an accomplished musician and arranger...The
result is a small gem of an album that's perfect for both serious listening and
gentle back ground ambiance." "...the
performances are impeccable...fans of both classical and folk styles of guitar
playing will enjoy the sound of this album, especially if they relish intricate
interplay between plucked stringed instruments... " |
