Description:

A modest yet elegant English musical pleasure with 18th century spinet and harpsichord. From the works of the two great virginistas Bard and Bull to those of the great masters Purcell and Arn, the up-and-coming harpsichordist Makiko Mizunaga's abilities fully shine through in music that combines the simplicity and sophistication that is uniquely English. The album also includes a song cycle, and the fresh singing of Nao Hirose, who trained at the Royal Academy of Music in England, further enhances the charm of the instrument.
