The newest recording by the Sebastians, New York's "sharp-edged and engaging" "leading young early-music ensemble" (The New York Times) features their signature rendition of Vivaldi's spine-tingling Folia, joined by trio sonatas by Handel, Corelli, and Colista, and vocal works by Handel and Vivaldi with soprano Awet Andemicael. Recorded in a beautifully resonant church, the disc features the warm sounds of baroque strings, harpsichord, theorbo, and soprano bringing this music to life.
A joyous spirit sweeps through this disc.
