CD 2: THE ART OF FUGUE
“Buy this CD now; cherish it forever.” - The Times, 3 December 2002
“Since Fretwork is the finest viol consort on the planet, this version is among the most desirable available" - Evening Standard, 5 December 2002
“It’s a privilege to eavesdrop as Fretwork –technically immaculate and excellently recorded – allows Bach to speak for himself.” - BBC Music Magazine, January 2003
CD 3/4: THE GOLDBERG VARIATIONS BWV988
Arranged for viols by Richard Boothby
“An unusually stately opening Aria begins a fascinating viol consort arrangement of this oft-recorded work...This reviewer's initial skepticism soon vanished. Cogent, moving and and superbly recorded, it is perhaps a 'meditation on' rather than an 'arrangement of' the Goldbergs.” - Classical Music, 22nd October 2011 ****
“Boothy's transcriptions are an unusual yet fascinating advocacy for a consort of viols that Bach would have considered archaic...as the spirit of the music dictates, Fretwork produces playing of astonishing imagination...With such a feast on offer, harpsichords never crossed my heretical mind.” - Gramophone Magazine, January 2012
