Vicki is joined by stellar colleagues, warm friends and pillars of the early music field John Holloway
on violin, and Jaap ter Linden on cello and viola da gamba. Lars Ulrik Mortensen’s harpsichord playing
is jaw-dropping awesome, and the late Aloysia Assenbaum graces this album with her elegant and tasteful
organ continuo. Oh, and this guy, Telemann, really knew how to write. He even says in his autobiography
that he’s the most proud of his trio sonatas! No kiddin’! |

When you hear this CD you’ll understand why this style is Vicki’s favorite repertoire. Dramatic, colorful,
whimsical and emotionally engaging sonatas by hot-blooded
Italians Dario Castello, Giovanni Fontana,
Giovanni Cima, Girolamo Frescobaldi and
Tarquinio Merula. |

Vicki’s maiden CD, recorded just after she completed her studies at the Royal Academy of Music in Copenhagen.
Not bad for a novice…wink! |

based quartet, Opus 4. Enjoy trio sonatas by
Handel, Telemann and Merula The continuo is played on
lute, which sheds new light and adds a certain delicacy to these otherwise well-known pieces. |

Indeed a musical journey through the ages with works spanning 800 years. Wood'N'Flutes plays
beautiful ballata by Machaut and Dufay,
madrigals from the Danish Court of King Chr. IV
by Mogens Pedersøn and Truid
Aagesen, a fun T'andernaken by Henry the VIIIth,
and cool trios by Johann Mattheson, Louis Antione Dornel, Matthias Maute and Willem Wander
van Nieuwkerk.

Vicki and Dorte Lester Nauta liberate themselves of the continuo players from Opus 4
to present some of their favorite duets. They play
some early works by John Baldwine, Thomas Morley, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, Gastoldi
and van Eyck along with later Baroque duets by Telemann
and Hotteterre le Romain. |
|

A fascinating album of contemporary works by Danish composers, recorded for the first time. Hans Abrahamsen's
Flowersongs, Ole Buck's Estampie, Two Trios by Ib Nørholm, Fløjteskove by Morten Nyord, and the lovely Color
Blue by Hans Henrik Brandt. Wood'N'Flutes is also joined by stellar colleague Karina Agerbo in Leif Kayser's
quartet Divertimento II.
...The Woodworks album opens the listeners ears for the recorder’s unknown spectrum of sound possibilities,
and it is a memorable experience. (Flensborg Avis, Germany)
