Orchestral Suites for a young prince.

Orchestral suites nos. 1,2,3 & 4.

Monica Huggett
& Sonnerie
with Gonzao Ruis, Oboe.
2009, Avie 2171

Nominated for a Grammy award.

Suites 2,3 & 4 are presented in reconstructions that attempt to re-create the original versions. The music is essentially the same, but scored differently.
Monica Huggett’s .. textures are clear, so that every line of counterpoint can be heard, and the playing is so enthusiastic that every line sounds like a melody. Her tempos are a bit on the fast side but the articulation is so clean that this sounds wholly natural…..this disc deserves to be heard by any admirer of Bach’s music. – All Music Guide.

Biber Mystery Sonatas Vol. 2, Monica Huggett with Sonnerie Heinrich Ignaz Franz BIBER
Mystery Sonatas – volume 2
Monica Huggett
with Sonnerie
2004, GAU351 
Of all the recordings now available of Biber…this [is] by far and away the most spectacular, exuberant, colourful and downright ravishing of them all. Huggett positively revels in the virtuosity of Biber’s original…Huggett’s beautifully crafted performance of the complex and, at times, profoundly moving solo Passacaglia rounds off what is a matchless recording from every perspective. – International Record Review, 2004

 

Biber Mystery Sonatas Vol. 1, Monica Huggett with Sonnerie Heinrich Ignaz Franz BIBER
Mystery Sonatas – volume 1
Monica Huggett
with Sonnerie
2004, GAU350
With the tonal sweetness of Huggett’s three violins resonating pleasingly through the many double- and multiple-stoppings and her bowing demonstrating a delicious lightness and freedom, she admirably displays her eloquent command of Biber’s sublime and richly symbolic language. Huggett’s [approach] is ravishing in its sonorities, her supporting cast adding significantly to the exotic sounds of the various scordaturas and the overall effect of her intelligent, stylish and expressive playing. – The Strad Magazine, November 2004

***** 5 star BBC Music Magazine *****
Sonnerie’s violins dance nimbly or swoon deliciously in Handel’s rich, graceful melodies. Their attractive tone is both astringent and sweet, luminous and full of shadows … their recorded sound is also impressively lucid … this disc far outshines the competition. – International Record Review, Mar 2004
