Andrew Fouts, baroque violin
Scott Pauley, theorbo
Patricia Halverson, viola da gamba
"a splendid period-instruments ensemble"
Chicago Tribune
“[a] well-conceived and elegantly performed program.” Washington Post
"Colorful virtuosity...Chatham Baroque gave
zesty accounts of a group of Spanish dances."
The New York Times
"a tour de force... a baroque gem."
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“The playing was first rate. Enticing . . . technically fleet and intensely
involved.” Houston Chronicle
"musicianship throughout the evening was top notch" The Buffalo News
"Chatham Baroque rocks, dude."
San Antonio Express-News
"Chatham Baroque is one of the most
spectacularly gifted and innovative of all the groups in this American
wave of talent." CD Now
"Was that a funky blues chord
amid the splendor of Chatham Baroque's season opener? It was that and
more, as Saturday night's concert at Synod Hall signaled a decidedly
adventurous path"
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"[Chatham Baroque] jammed its way through a
program of Scottish music. It was a gem of a performance."
The Post and Courier, Charleston
"... even their quiet
playing is extremely well-projected. Indeed, this music is
well-served by being performed with such backbone... each section is
vividly characterized, yet one also gets a strong sense of the work as
a
whole, with each movement flowing inevitably into the next...Very
strongly recommended."
Gramophone
"...a marvelous co-production by Chatham Baroque
and the Renaissance & Baroque Society.... Throughout the night,
violinist Julie Andrijeski led her Chatham Baroque colleagues and
other musicians wonderfully (she also provided the dance
choreography). The warm, active sound pushed the evening forward -- no
tepid period performance this."
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"This is well-performed, enjoyable music in a
one-hundred percent Latin American version."
Goldberg Magazine
"Stylistic, technically accomplished, and
musical..."
Columbus Dispatch
"Theorbo player Scott Pauley, is a brilliant
young artist ...Pauley showed a complete mastery of his long-necked
instrument, with particularly striking use of its deep bass notes."
The Washington Post
"...music of Johann Hieronymus Kapsberger showed off the group's natural dynamic and each member's
gifts. Pauley's sure-handed playing came to the forefront through the
multi-voiced lines and accelerating rhythms of the folklike "Colascione."
In the heavy-footed dance "Canario," Pauley then laid the foundation
for Halverson's earthy, exacting work, which in turn set up Fouts's
mellifluous sound and sensitive style."
