Music in Lyddington presents Passacaglia Baroque Ensemble
‘They have played together for many years now and there is an effortlessness about the sound no matter which combination of instruments is involved, there is never a sense of one striving to take the lead: rather the voices balance one another... finely crafted performances from a star line-up’.
