The Dutch/Hungarian soprano Fischer and eclectic guitarist Dorrestein team up to arrange Purcell and Vivaldi and Monteverdi pieces for voice and electric guitar. The result is a little bit like the best brunch duo you’ve ever heard, which is not meant as faint praise. The level of control both have is simply astonishing and hearing this music stripped of orchestral texture and size makes the melodies ring, and reveals how close some of them are to folk and pop music. I especially like when it turns into something like a gender-swapped version of a King Crimson ballad.
