Kreüsser (2018)
Six elegant and uplifting quintettos by a new discovery - Georg Anton Kreüsser (1746-1810). With guest artists Jacques-André Houle (Baroque viola) and Amanda Keesmaat (Baroque cello). This album was nominated for an Opus Award in 2019. |
"[C]harming, in the word’s proper sense: It is immediately appealing, even beguiling ... Infusion Baroque’s earlier elegance and refinement reappear here in spades, but they do so alongside a lovely sense of wit, pathos, and verve ... [N]ot only have they resurrected a wonderful composer and six fantastic quintets, but they also have done so with utmost musical panache."
-Early Music America, 2019
"[A] spirited and successful attempt to restore Kreüsser to the ranks of 18th-century composers of note."
-The Whole Note, 2019
"[E]ngagingly, sometimes even delightfully, colorful and inventive, as well as rhythmically infectious... [The musicians] play with a liveliness and unforced energy that seems to grow naturally out of the music rather than being imposed on it, combining spontaneity and abandon with technical perfection."
-Fanfare, 2019

-Médium large (Radio-Canada), 2017
" [A] new CD of works by C.P.E. Bach that comes about as close to pure happiness as any other recording you’re going to listen to anytime soon. "
