Music in
The lying lover~This suite in B flat consists of an overture and seven dances, culminating in a Chaconne. Croft shows himself to be quite at home in the theatre idiom, and there is more than an accasional hint of Purcellian harmonic spice.
This is Tarsi-Mimi Loustas's first edition for Prima la musica! We look forward to more.
