“A sound world of intoxicating beauty and luminosity,

perfectly capturing the rarefied essence of Vermeer’s

“Fascinating and, for me, a new and delightful

“Mit bemerkenswartem Feingefühl und hörbarer

Liebe zur Sache gestalten die Künstler ihr

anspruchsvolles Programm. Wie ein roter Faden zieht

sich ein gleichermaßen eleganter und ver innerlichter

Ton durch die Interpretationem” Klassik Heute

“No longer, it seems, are Vermeer’s paintings to speak

to our souls in silence. In this beautifully produced

recording, Julia Gooding’s dark toned soprano and

Christopher Wilson’s exquisitely played lutes

communicate with a warm, close intimacy. Carole

Cerasi is the lady at the virginals …..” The Times
