The harpsichord sound is warm and bright, and Pinnock's interpretation of the Italian Concerto is lively and uptempo, played with his usual consummate skill. You will almost certainly also enjoy the works by other composers. Jan Hanford said: I buy anything Pinnock does. The consistent high quality of his playing is remarkable. A wonderful recording.
