Music reviews of Garden of Early Delights
Music Review: Recorder + harp = winning combination
Rating: 4 Stars
The recorder is a superb consort or ensemble instrument, but as a solo instrument can get boring due to its un-complex tone. This problem is accentuated with 17th century sonatas which must be a blast to play, full of complex passages and opportunites to improvise, but which get tiresome on a 60-minute=plus CD.
Patricia Thorby has avoided this pitfall on this CD by a combination of clever programming, and most of all by selecting the Andrew Lawrence-King's harp as the continuo instrument. Its softer tone proves to be a much better accompaniment to the recorder than a harpsichord. She has selected 4 pieces from Der Fluyten Lust-hof, but adds a harp continuo on 3 of these nominally solo works. The presence of a continuo adds a new dimension to these well-known pieces. (Purists should fear not - the warhorse "Daphne" maintains its solo status).
Thorby's fantastic technique and good taste are evident throughout this album. And Lawrence-King gets two solo pieces for harp to show off his skills as well.
This is the best introduction to the 17th century recorder repetoire currently available.
