Great Music

Lars Hinnum | 06/03/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Thomas Linley Jr. (1756-1778) was one of the most promising young english composers at his time. He was like Mozart a wunderkind, born into a very musical family. He was also a student of William Boyce (1711-1779). Unfortunately Thomas Linley Jr. died in a boat accident only 22 years old. The english musicologist and conductor Philip Pickett (the leader of the brilliant original instruments orchestra New London Consort) has formed the theatre-ensemble Musicians of The Globe in order to perform music written for and inspired by Shakespeare's plays. The music is beautiful, the performances are superb, and the recording is excellently balanced."
