...These pieces feature remarkable technical complexities, furious virtuosity, an unending reservoir of thoughtful melodic turns, and very warm, burnished scoring. A mixture of French and German styles permeate this music while showing us at the same time the extent of the composer’s rather somber Protestant roots...I can’t compete with the informative and erudite notes here; this is a must-have baroque issue in hi-res surround. audaud.com (Steven Ritter)

...The recording on hand shows in a most fascinating way that the compositions, 300 years after the death of this imposing composer, still manage to impress its listeners. However, this is also because of the beautiful interpretation of the renowned ensemble L'Estravagante with its well known musicians Stefano Montanari, Rodney Prada and Maurizio Salerno. linnrecords.com
