"Awakening Princesses": Since the days of Frans Brüggen, it has been a nearly impossible undertaking to perform on original historical instruments. The instruments languish locked up in display cases
...
and archives. On this AEOLUS SuperAudioCD (AE-10186), Peter Holtslag awakens to life again six famous instruments by Peter Bressan and others.
With Elizabeth Kenny (archlute and theorbo), Rainer Zipperling (bass viol and cello) and Carsten Lohff (harpsichord).
This unique sound document does justice to the "princesses" by means of an SACD with high-resolution stereo and surround sound. The accompanying booklet is a virtual book with a very extensive commentary and a great deal of scholarly information about the instruments, including color illustrations.
