More Than Muses - Female Creative Power In The [CD]

First disc and debut recording of Tabea Schwartz's Vernon Consort, another remarkable fruit of the Musik-Akademie Basel. The programme of this recording is an enthralling discovery journey through the female musical environment of the Netherlands Golden Age. Three strong personalities feature this disc: a recorder virtuoso, a composer and a publisher. Several pieces are world premiere recordings. The disc is highly appealing for the quality of the selected music, for the performance standards and for the diversified colours and scores that make up for a pleasing listening from start to end.
