My review of a disc of sacred music by Hasse is here.
This isn't great music, but it is well crafted and attractive and is presented in persuasive performances.
And a review of a recital of baroque songs and arias sung by counter-tenor Franco Fagioli is here.
An intelligently planned and well performed recital.
Finally Alex Klein's disc of Vivaldi oboe concertos is here. All 3 are on MusicWeb International.
Klein’s technique and sound are entrancing. His beautifully toned account of the virtuosic solo parts contributes to a highly seductive whole.
