Full texts and translations of the songs are included, and a fascinating scholarly note by Tim Crawford produced in English and French
"There is a Vermeer like intimacy and tranquility about much of it that nourishes the soul [...] All the performances here exude an appropriate air of refinement and composure [...] Christopher Wilson plays eloquently and Carole Cerasi brings her customary crisp precision to bear, using a mellowtoned original. Recording quality is excellent, so really this one is a pleaser all round."
(Gramophone)
"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 bemerkenswertem 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"
