"Recording of the month: Regular readers may know that I'm not over-generous with the 'Recommended' accolade - perhaps the consequence of years of working as an examiner - but I seem to have hit a good patch recently, and this is certainly part of it; it's one of most wonderful recordings to have come my way recently. The majority of the texts are penitential in nature, but the settings are spiritually uplifting".

"With its ciaconna bass, Hammerschmidt's sacred concerto Nun danket alle Gott perfectly exemplifies the programme of this recording devoted to the influences of the Italian Baroque on the works of seventeenth-century Lutheran composers. The vast majority of the repertory gathered here comes once again from the exceptionally rich library assembled at the end of the seventeenth century by Gustav Düben, organist of the German Church in Stockholm. His collection contains the only known copy of a Confitebor tibi Domine by Claudio Monteverdi. Other composers such as Bernhard and Rosenmüller had very close links with Italy and were among those who helped to disseminate Italian practices in the German-speaking lands. In all this sacred repertory, the role of instruments, and particularly that of the violin (the emblematic instrument of Italy), is highly developed. The instruments accompany the voice and comment on the texts in most expressive fashion. This programme also offers a chance to discover some gems by lesser-known composers such as Hanff, Pfleger and Pohle".

"Eine der grössten Sammlungen mit Musik des 17. Jahrhunderts befindet sich in Uppsala. Aus der Musik dieser sogenannten Düben-Sammlung ... werden in diesen Fall die italienischen Einflüsse auf die deutsche Musik ein wenig unter die Lupe genommen ... Hierfür sorgt natürlich auch das sehr lebendig aufspielende Clematis-Ensemble, das nicht nur eine sehr souveräne und klangwarme Grundierung für die Solistin bereitstellt, sondern auch keinen Affekt links liegen lässt. Mit ihrem klaren Sopran sorgt auch Julie Roset für adäquate Affektdarstellungen, die bei dieser Musik ja eine sehr prominente Rolle einnehmen".
