This is lovely music that is beautifully played and presented. The ensemble sounds rich in tone and I particularly like the continuo playing.

A particular favourite of mine Darren....did you like it?

Cheers Darren. Do let me know what you think of it if you listen to it again, even if you do not like it. I will be curious.
