Passacaglia - Boismortier: Suites and Sonatas - Music Week

Linn's hybrid SACD engineering contributes to the outstanding artistic success of this disc, although the major credits lie with youthful ensemble Passacaglia and, above all, Joseph Bodin de Boismortier, the early 18th-century French composer whose work has routinely been dismissed as second rate or even dull. Neither condition applies to the suites and sonatas presented in this programme, which are admirably compiled and affectionately played.
