CD-Kritik eines Kunden aus Griechenland.

Sehr geehrter Herr Schall,

Thank you very much for sending me the two requested CDs, which I have received and managed to listen already yesterday!

Please notice that I am delighted about the rarity,beauty and quality of the recorded material.

There are not many people that would record material from unknown composers such as Johann Gottfried Conradi (if you believe that he is not the composer maybe he should not be presented as such on the backside of the CD, though), Philipp Franz Le Sage de Richée, Johann Michael Kühnel, Giovanni Zamboni, Corigniani, and Johann Laurentius Gleimius.

Esaias Reusner, Adam Falckenhagen, Joachim Bernhard Hagen and Sylvius Leopold Weiss seem to be (and are actually) more famous, having (at least some of them) entire CDs dedicated to their works.

I am really grateful that you have introduced me to such unjustly neglected lute masters.

Congratulations for your excellent work!

Finally, please notice also that the only annoying point in your whole publication (at least from my point of view) is the Sautscheck story.

If we know for certain that this is a fictitious name, this name should certainly not be featured on the backside of your CD cover (moreover in its full fake glory Gotthold Ephraim Sautscheck!).

Moreover the real composer (or imposter if you prefer) should be actually revealed and, furthermore, since from what I have understood this person is probably still alive and kicking, he should certainly not be presented in a Baroque music CD!

I am sorry to say that this is really a pathetic and ridiculous story, harming you otherwise excellent CD.

Thanking you, once again, for your kind cooperation, I remain,

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Tassos Dimitriadis
