This release from the historical performance group Le Consort (two violins, cello, and continuo) has several attractive features from the repertory point of view. Le Consort offers three generations of English instrumental music, dating from the Italian import Nicola Matteis through Henry Purcell to the composer called Mrs Philarmonica, active around 1725. She is described in the booklet accurately as a mystery; no one has yet established her identity (or even if she is indeed female, although one assumes she is). She is represented by four trio sonatas (called simply "sonata") that are in a Vivaldian style and are thoroughly enjoyable; recordings of her work are not common, and this zippy one is welcome. Sample the second movement of the Sonata sesta in G major, marked Con spirito ma non presto. The performance here might indeed be presto, but it is very exciting. Equally interesting are the works by Nicola Matteis, who introduced the Italian style to England and diverted English music from a slavish imitation of French models. His works here are offbeat and often fiery. Sample the "Scaramuccia" finale from the Suite in A minor or the finale of the Suite in G minor with the title Fancy called hold the Tongue. The Purcell pieces are mostly better-known melodies arranged for the small group here, certainly something in keeping with practices of the time, and they provide a few "hits" interspersed among the unfamiliar material. The only real complaint here is the sound from the Christuskirche in Paris; it is noisy and really overdone in music that can speak for itself, and that never sounded like this in the chambers for which it was composed. However, anyone who has ever wondered about Mrs Philarmonica should pick up a copy of this album.
