This review is from: Adagio (Audio CD)

Ive owned this CD for years, even went through two cassettes until I upgraded.

This is the greatest Baroque CD I have and is one of my top 5 classical CDs.

Slow moving, beautifull Baroque strings with familiar themes. Dark, dramatic, sad & captures the period.
