This album presents music which could suit entertaining and dining. A large and comprehensive selection of Baroque music gives plenty of mood and variety, while remaining cheerfully uplifting throughout. Concertos, dance suites and solo harpsichord contribute to the mood of openness and fun which pervades the whole album. Nothing too serious, but great music, nonetheless.
