Nord versus Sud
"North versus South: 18th century Dances and Grounds from Spain, Italy and England"
Label: La mà de guido / LMG2068 (ES) / 2005.
"An excellent example of instrumental music from the North and South of Europe, where we can find country dances, popular dances and music for the processions masterly performed by the young ensemble Rubato Appassionato." Oriol Pérez, Nativa (Revista Musical Metropolitana), number 31, March - April 2006 (ES)
"The interpretation of Rubato Appassionato is executed with the most pure historical logic. The musicological strictness isn’t the only virtue: listening to this music one can arrive to the conclusion that all three players are excellent musicians who tremendously enjoy doing their job." Eduardo Torrico, CD Compact, no. 204, December 2006 (ES)
"A disc that turns out to be an absolute delight for the general listener. The performances have an immensely appealing combination of expertise and enthusiastic abandon. Recorder player Antonia Tejeda in an extraordinary find, with steady intonation, total command of the difficult Corelli work and the English ground-bass pieces, and real dramatic presence. Streett keeps up with her in passages where the continuo answers the lead recorder line, and Agranov creates a spectacular variety of cello effects."
James Manheim, All Music Guide, 2006 (US)
"All three players are imaginative and adventurous and unafraid to improvise."
Kreitner, American Record Guide, 2006 (US)
"The music includes Sarabandes, Galliards, Contra-dances and other delicious dances, which Rubato Appassionato performs with elegancy, complete stylistic rigour and irresistible rhythmical vitality” J. P. S., 2007 (ES)
