Uccellini by Altri Stromenti Altri Stromenti : Uccellini.
 17th century baroque ensemble.

Poland's premiere period instrument ensemble Altri Stromenti (which means "other instruments") delivers an enchanting interpretation of Marco Uccellini's work. Music Director Leszek Firek chooses a great selection of this Baroque composer's elegant and highly textured chamber music, and compliments it with a few well placed vocal pieces by other composers.

Ukranian soprano Olga Pasiecznik's performances on three tracks are of particular note on this release, because she's an absolute gem. Her performance of "Confitebor" and "Al Sacramento" are revelations: this is the human voice at its most fresh, airy, and graceful.
