Several composers from the European continent established themselves in Britain in the first half of the 18th century. For a lot of them, mainly influenced by the Italian style, it was a necessity to musically integrate their compositions, while they helped molding the element of “Britishness” in British music in the first place. On this CD the Ensemble Chameleon around the British bassoonist Jennifer Harris (who is living in Germany today) explores the musical style of John Ernest Galliard and Luigi Merci, complementing it with Scottish traditional songs. The multifaceted, colorful interpretation shows that the bassoon does not solely exist to serve as a muffled and dusty bass of the wind family: it is able to sigh, to speak and to laugh, in short: to come alive.

Diese CD ist spannend und unterhaltsam und ein eindrucksvoller Beweis der expressiven Fähigkeiten des Fagotts.
Johan van Veen, Toccata, Januar/Februar 2015

[Jennifer Harris] artikuliert wirklich sprechend, wobei das Seufzen und Lachen nur zwei Spielarten sind. Ihr Mutterweitz wirkt wohl ansteckend, und so liefert das Generalbass-Team […] einen rhythmisch swingenden Sound. Mancher Dialog schaukelt sich da recht fetzig auf.
Reinhard Kriechbaum, Concerto, September/Oktober 2014

Eine engagierte Produktion, die einen guten Einblick in das Englische Repertoire für Fagott und Basso continuo in der ersten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts vermittelt.
Inés Zimmermann, Tibia, 3/2014

These pieces […] shine out as huge, delicious prelude-like beacons of joyous bassoonery! In her sleeve note Jennifer Harris says ”[…] the bassoon must be able to sigh, to speak and to laugh, in short: it has to come alive.” In your hands, Ms Harris - it has certainly done just that.
Maggie Bruce, Early Music, April 2014
