Notes & Reviews:

Gramophone Magazine
[The Agricola is] the first recording of a piece that looks slight on the page but is moving enough in performance...it's good of Graindelavoix to tackle some fo the famous pieces of the time (Nymphes des bois and Absalon fili mi, whoever wrote it) along with some obscure ones.
