Notes & Reviews:

"...this is an auspicious start, promising to rival the Harmonia Mundi set by Christophe Rousset...Cummings, besides being an exceptionally clean player, with intelligent phrasing, the neatest possible ornaments unobtrusively incorporated into the textural lines, splendidly rhythmic yet not at all inflexible, is a persuasive stylist: all his performances are marked by a vitality that is most appealing..." -LS, Editor's Choice, Gramophone
