Die Interpreten widmen sich ihrer dankbaren Aufgabe mit Hingabe und beweisen profunde Kenntnisse und Stilkompetenz. Gleichwohl ist in der vorliegenden Weise Schop und seinen Zeitgenossen ein guter Dienst geleistet.

This is a wonderful CD (...) 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, 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 cannot recommend the disc highly enough to anyone interested in the 17th century.
Early Musik Review - 63 - September 2000
Das Programm ist überzeugend zusammengestellt und wird erstklassig dargeboten. Das warme, völlig durchsichtige Klangbild ist ebenfalls exzellent. Für alle Fans barocker Kammermusik, die die ausgelatschten "Großmeister"-Pfade satt haben.
BA Heppenheim Nr. 188
Above all, if you like virtuosic playing, you will be wowed by Annegret Siedel's fabulous fiddling. A lot is alled also by the robust continuo work of her two partners. (...) this program is an illuminating 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.
