about

‘Robert de Visée’s Pieces for Theorbo is simply gorgeous to listen to. Its tranquility is as fitting for a 17th-century court as it is for swooning on a beach or solitary introspection.’

‘This is a hypnotic, elevated journey of discovery created solely by Shaun Ng and A415 Music for us. On successive listenings the colours, gestures and versatility of the solo theorbo, of de Visée’s conversation and of Ng’s Historically Informed Performance skill as well as musical integrity increasingly endear themselves to us.’
