"17th-century English melancholy and despair beautifully delivered...the honours go to Mieneke van der Velden, who plays with unfailing intensity and beauty of tone." Gramophone
"Wisely for such intense repertory, the programme is broken up by some small lute solos, deftly played by Fred Jacobs, and songs with viol accompaniment. Two Downland songs are performed in rarely heard versions with descants and bass gamba parts of the composer himself. Fascinating variations on much-loved songs especially rewarding....Peter Kooy is among the foremost Bach interpreters of the day, a sensational singer of Hume and Lanier....Warmly recommended." International Record Review
"17th-century English melancholy and despair beautifully delivered...the honours go to Mieneke van der Velden, who plays with unfailing intensity and beauty of tone." Gramophone
"Exquisitely played, with as much devotion to detail as technical mastery, here is period music to beguile many a modern moodswing." The Observer
