Reviews

Gramophone Magazine April 2019

“We are presented with a fictitious competition between viol and violin – frets versus fingers, so to speak. Rattinger on the viol begins with vigour…Tur Bonet on the violin then steps up to the plate with Corelli’s Op. 5 No. 5, that staple of baroque violinists everywhere. Her sound is sweet, with superb clarity. But amid all the ornamental spaghetti there is little sense of pulse and dance.
