Reviews
'...Nicki Kennedy and Sally Bruce-Payne are superb vocalists, every English diphthong beautifully articulated, but the big hand belongs to the four-piece band... for the richness of their sound, a delight from start to close.'
'...the Band is as deliciously poised and pertinent as ever.'
'Handel recycles some of his best tunes in vocal music that's a fresh as a summer's day. Lovely ensemble playing and expressive soloists.'
'As always, The Brook Street Band has a delightfully light touch, never solemn, and they are beautifully complemented here by the clear Baroque soprano of Nicki Kennedy and the rich alto of Sally Bruce-Payne.'
'Essential listening for all Handelians, and the performances are first class.'
