In addition to the bowed-string band of five players there are important contributions from harpist Andrew Lawrence-King and Paul O'Dette on guitar and chitarrone. The single vocalist is soprano Ellen Hargis, whose singing will be well known to early music and Baroque enthusiasts. Her contribution, mainly a strong one - though her uppermost register can sound pinched - includes Luigi Rossi's beautiful lament 'Lasciate Averno' from his Paris opera Orfeo (1647), and Monteverdi's 'Ohime, ch'io cado'. 'Voglio di vita uscir', also present in the programme may or may not be by Monteverdi.
The instrumental pieces, far greater in number, are thoughtfully varied in character and in colour, and are played with rhythmic verve; but it is the vocal items - above all, the ravishing Rossi - which crown this rewarding programme.
