Hans Olav Gorset, Rolf Lislevand, Paolo Pandolfo
Några som verkligen satt sig in i den franska ornamenteringskonsten är Hans Olav Gorset, Rolf Lislevand och Paolo Pandolfo, … speciella kunskaper med lysande resultat. De har framförallt hittat ett trevligt tilbakalutat barocksväng och en perfekt balans mellan instrumenten
Musik, SRP2
Gorset does it with style … This is music the musician obviously has lived a whole life to formulate; the essence of this music is just as much Gorset as Philidor, and this is a brilliant and commendable way of making music one’s own.

... this CD should be an essential part of your collection.

... nothing less than a musical tour of Europe through the stylistic diversity of the Baroque, presented by Gorset & Friends, sometimes tasteful and sensitive, sometimes raucous and exultant.
TIBIA
It is difficult to overpraise the care taken to make this not only an authentic recreation of a delightful evening of music but one that bears repeated hearing. Audiophiles can rejoice as this is a demonstration disc that actually has great cuts that are worth listening to, imagine that! Thank you again, 2L.

"Nodebog" presents "Pleasurable Passage of Time in 18th century Norway". And pleasurable it is, this mix of dances, songs, marches, and other popular pieces … Very well, it is mostly rather unpretentious music, but it should give us just as much pleasure today, as it once did to its original audience.
