Annegret Siedel - baroque violin | Barbara Maria Willi - harpsichord & organ

This is a wonderful CD - I have sat and listened to it (or rather allowed myself to be transported far beyond the confines of my new living room) several times in the last few weeks. If I once likened Elisabeth Wallfisch to Locatelli, I have to say that Annegret Siedel might well be Thomas Baltzar incarnate - his music must simply flow in her veinst! Not that her Schop, Brade, Bleyer, or Sidon are any less compelling. Accompanied by harpsichord, organ and theorbo (or solo, since some of the pieces are unaccompanied), her violin was like the Pied Piper's flute - wherever it led, my ears followed without any straining or effort on my or her part. I'd never heard of Schop so this is a most welcome addition to my CD collection and I cannot recommend the disc highly enough to anyone interested in the 17th century. (B. C. Early Musik Review 63, Sept. 2000)
[Schop] […] was the focal personality in early-17th-Century Hamburg, which, with Lübeck, served as main centers of instrumental style in northern Germany. Around him cluster his predecessor in Hamburg and teacher in Copenhagen, the peripatetic Englishman, William Brade (1560-1630), and Schop's successor there, Samuel Peter Sidon (16??-1701), as well as Schop's Hamburg contemporary, Heinrich Scheidemann (c. 1596-1663). Also represented are another Brade pupil, Nicolaus Bleyer (1591-1658), who settled inLübeck, an a native of that city, Thomas Baltzer (c. 1630-63), who ended up in England. […] so if you like the form you will particularly enjoy this engaging literature. Above all , if you like virtuosic playing, you will be wowed by Annegret Siedel's fabulous fiddling. A lot is added also by the robust continuo work of her two partners. The booklet presents good notes on the participating composers. […] This program is an illumiminating exploration of a neglected area of North-German early-baroque music, as well as a revelation of the fact that genuine violin virtuosity in German-speaking lands did not begin only in the late 17th Century with Biber. (Barker, American Record Guide)
The music speaks eloquently in performances like these that place scholarship at the service of modern theatrical sensibility. Siedel builds the opening untitled work by Schop, for example, to an almost unbearable level of intensity (and nearly reaches it in the same composers's Nasce la Pena); and her imposing virtuosity in his Allemande helps underscore the work's dramatic logic. (R. Maxham, Fanfare, Nov./Dec. 2000)
