Naxos 8.550573

This was the Camerata's second CD (although some reviewers mistakenly hailed it as the first) and the only one to be recorded in the beautiful surroundings of Dorchester Abbey. However, the sessions themselves proved to be somewhat traumatic. In the event, the noise of the cement-mixer situated just outside the monitoring room proved to be less problematic than the monitors themselves: the producer and engineer contrived to damage their car on the way to Dorchester and thereby missed the first recording session. Consequently the recording was made in three sessions rather than the planned four.
