Richard Stone and Tempesta di Mare are at the cutting edge of the re-discovery of Fasch’s output – this excellent and thoroughly enjoyable recording is based largely on their second concert of repertoire from Dresden… Tempesta di Mare really bring the glorious sound of Heinichen and Pisendel’s famous orchestra (which Fasch knew first hand) to life.

Early Music Review

This is a recording of some really wonderful music performed in concert by a top-notch ensemble. The notes are well written also, with just the sort of information one needs to appreciate the music.

American Record Guide

The Philadelphia based period instrument band Tempesta di Mare eschews the driven, highly rhetorical style of some European ensembles, and instead prefers a more relaxed and elegant approach. It sustains Fasch’s longer movements well by listening to what the composer has to say rather than overlaying a strong interpretative varnish of its own.

International Record Review

CD sound is clean and bright in this live performance of a most welcome addition to the repertoire

BBC Music Magazine

The opening movement of the Ouverture is pure delight – nearly ten minutes of purposeful and hypnotic rhythmic drive, with various combinations of wind contrasting with the full band.
