Several CDs for the ACCENT have been released; they have been distinguished with critical acclaim and international prizes. The CD "Lettere amorose", released in 2010 with the soprano Magdalena Kozená by Deutsche Grammophon, was awarded with the Diapason d'Or.
The guitar is an instrument especially inviting for improvisation. This goes for the 17th century as well as nowadays. Many of the pieces on this CD are written like sketches asking for further development. Private Musicke took up those stimulating suggestions and turned them into a program providing a colourful and diverse image of the Italian art of guitar music in the 17th century.  Price: $27.98 |
