This review is from: Jacquet de la Guerre: Sonatas pour le Viollon (Audio CD)

This is a very nice recording of baroque violin sonatas by one of the few known female composers of that time.
The pieces are very good, not the standard forgettable fare that you sometimes find with obscure baroque composers.
The performances are on period instruments and are energetic and expressive, doing justice to this interesting music.

I actually don't have this cd. but Jacquet de la Guerre is an excellent composer (I say every bit as good as her male counterparts). I've seen Byron Schenkman live (and maybe Margriet?). He/they play in the Seattle Baroque group. he's an excellent interpretor and virtuoso at the harpsichord.
