Press:

“A sound world of intoxicating beauty and luminosity,
perfectly capturing the rarefied essence of Vermeer’s
world” BBC Music Magazine

“Fascinating and, for me, a new and delightful
experience” Mail on Sunday

“Mit bemerkenswartem Feingefühl und hörbarer
Liebe zur Sache gestalten die Künstler ihr
anspruchsvolles Programm. Wie ein roter Faden zieht
sich ein gleichermaßen eleganter und ver innerlichter
Ton durch die Interpretationem” Klassik Heute

“No longer, it seems, are Vermeer’s paintings to speak
to our souls in silence. In this beautifully produced
recording, Julia Gooding’s dark toned soprano and
Christopher Wilson’s exquisitely played lutes
communicate with a warm, close intimacy. Carole
Cerasi is the lady at the virginals …..” The Times
