    Eloquence celebrates the art of Thurston Dart, the harpsichordist, conductor and editor who played a leading role in the early-music revival in postwar Britain. A feast of melancholia: three L’Oiseau-Lyre albums of early English chamber music from the dawn of the period-performance era, newly remastered and compiled together for the first time with much material new to CD.

    Thurston Dart prepared the performing editions of nearly all the music on this 2CD compilation, but he struck a fine balance between scholarly rectitude, practical concerns and a performer’s instincts.
