Press Reviews

"... a busy continuo player. Held is therefore an expansive musical imagination: he deploys those distinctive stylistic traits that are the lifeblood of this music with the utmost taste (especially the stile brisée treatment of not only chords but intervals and the subtle inégales) and suggests orchestral colours with ease."
International Record review, April 2006

"The recordings prove the incredible richness and stylistic range of this intimate music. True, one needs to give on to "music coming from silence". The span of expression inside, the corresponding parts, the humour and the melancholy are so close next to each other. To make them visible, without falling into the trap of wrong dramatising, is the all-decisive art of the player. Held manages this with mastery; his dreamlike secureness of playing with the musical time is without comparison. The calm of the beat guaranties the inner dramatisation in its most beautiful way."
Musikforum, March 2006

"Courageous music making, cheerfully interpreted, it is literally a delight to listen to these recordings."
Lauten, February 2006 (Deutsche Lautengesellschaft)
