"There's something about the openness of sound, the sheer quality of
music-making and the sense of connection between performers and composers that
makes this a very special recording. Its contents explore the world of the
Baroque chaconne, a secular dance form that became a staple of music for the
concert room and chapel. The challenge of creating a piece above a repeated bass
line certainly appealed to Bach, Purcell and the little-known Erlebach, each on
inspired, inventive form in the works offered here. The Bach Players ... reach
the music's emotional heart with tremendous conviction."
