Notes & Reviews:

Lachrymae (latin for "tears") is the perfect title for this collection of some of the most visceral music composed in the last four centuries. "The orchestral playing per se is first-class, audience-noise almost non-existent and the recording vividly realistic." --Andrew Achenbach - Gramophone

Notes & Reviews:

Recording information: St John's Smith Square, London, England (03/24/2003/03/31/2003).
