Dear Christina I want to thank you again for the wonderful concerts we have been fortunate to attend during last year's Lufthansa festival here in London and in May of this year at Arques-la- Battaile. It was lovely to hear the Landi 'live' and to have seen you afterwards, albeit very briefly. We have managed to get tickets for the concert in Brugge next month and we look forward to seeing you again. I think we can officially described as fans of your music! See you very soon. Regards, Matthew Kettle and José L. Gonzalez-Garcia | |

Dear Christina, I heard your concerts this weekend and it was the best concerts I have ever heard in my life, just absulotely magic and wonderful! Marco Beasley was just absolutely incredible, the high level of music making with the instrumentists of Arpeggiata really stunning. Your harp-playing together with his voice is a dream! Lucilla Galeazzi is really amazing as well, strong and passionate, with this most beautiful voice and stage-presence. To hear and especially see (!) both soloists in one performance was a wonderful experience!!! Thank you for putting this together, thank you to the wonderful singers, thank you to the amazing instrumentalists and the beautiful coulours and improvisations and thank you for bringing this beauty to the world! Maggi | |

Gisteren, vandaag en morgen genieten van L' Arpeggiata op Radio Klara. Wat een openbaring, wat een klasse! Speciale groeten aan Paulina Van Laarhoven en Johanna en Elisabeth Seitz die we reeds te gast mochten hebben in ons cultuurcentrum. Hopelijk lukt het om vroeg of laat ook een concert met L'Arpeggiata bij ons in Noord-België te organiseren. Wim Hoekx (Lommel, België) |

I have just purchased La Tarantella and wanted to tell you how marvellous I think it is. The music is a joy to listen too - and, for me, a brilliant introduction to music of this genre. I heard of you and your work through a track being played on BBC Radio 3. Once again, thank you for producing such a vibrant and passionate piece of work. I hope maybe to see you in performance one day. With best wishes Adrian Newton | |

Liebe Christina, seit ich vor kurzem eine CD von Ihnen und Ihrem Ensemble gehört habe, bin ich total total "süchtig" nach ihren Aufnahmen geworden.Ich höre viel alte Musik, aber so wunderbar packend und zeitlos schön habe ich diese Musik noch nicht gehört. Ich bin gespannt was noch kommt... Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland Norbert |

Miss Galeazzi, thanks a lot for yor extraordinary record with L'Arpeggiata. I'm really moved of your voice and the whole recording. Pizzicarella mia - I'm on my knees; Lu povero 'Ntonuccio - I'm really weeping. I share my joy with my young friends, I'm trying to pass this record wherever I can. At present I started to write with my commentary on La Tarantella to one of polish stunning weeklies. Grazie mille - listener from Poland - Dariusz (Dario) Czaja - Jagiellonian University (Cracovia), Institute of Culture Anthropology P.S. Please join us in Poland as soon as possibly. Thank you again. You've got almost 30 fans (all of them are my students) in Cracov only. Don't leave us alone. We really need you!!!! My son, Francesco (he is very adult, he is one and a half) is getting crazy when listen to Pizzicarella mia, he is dancing like a really possessed person, he whirls around and bow. Jesus, what a view! I call him Mister Dancing with Spiders! That's You, Lucilla, personally, You are guilty, You have bittten him. I'll never forgive You. His another favourite tune is Homo fugit velut umbra from Stefano Landi recording. The same view as mentioned before, but with better understanding of the lyrics: bisogna morire, bisogna morire.... My goodness, he dances, as if he knew, poverello... (by the way, my deepest thanks to Marco, on my private list he is Marco Pantani of Italian Voice!) | |

Hello Christina: I hope you are well. I am writing to let you know what Jon-Michael and I think of the recordings which you gave us when we met in early December. The Landi recording is simply superb. I can see why it has received so many awards. It is so musical and inspiring to listen to. La Tarantella is beyond words. I don't want to seem trite in my response here. The arrangements are exemplary for recordings of this nature. I looked in my collection and I have a couple of tarantella recordings (Antonio Fiori), which are good. But, when listening to your arrangements performed by the exceptionally well-chosen group of performers, this recording reaches new heights in early music. Marco Beasley's voice is so captivating framed by your harp playing. The progression of songs throughout the recording complements the listening experience very well. It truly is an amazing recording in every way. I spoke with Premiere Distributions (Alpha distributors in the US) owner and he said that that he cannot get any copies of La Tarantella as it has sold so quickly. We were truly inspired by this recording. May the muse continue to be with you, Christina. Greetings, John | |

Bonjour, Je vous écris un mot à partir de McDonald's Corners, un tout petit village de l'Est de l'Ontario, près de Perth, à 100 km à l'Ouest d'Ottawa, au Canada. La semaine passée, j'ai entendu quelques extraits du disque "La Tarentella" pendant une émission de la chaîne culturelle de Radio Canada ("Les Beaux Jours"), et j'ai été tellement touché par cette musique, j'ai dû acheter le CD immédiatement (par émail). Le disque est arrivé aujourd'hui, quelle merveille. Non, je ne crois pas avoir été piqué par une araignée, mais cette musique me soigne l'âme quand même, et ce au plus haut point! Je tiens à vous remercier d'avoir offert cette belle médecine à un monde qui en a bien besoin. Encore merci, du fond du coeur. Jean Detheux | |

j'ai acheté La Tarentelle il y a quelques semaines et je l'écoute pratiquement chaque jour et parfois plusieurs heures : grand amateur de musique classique, j'ai rarement connu une musique qui éveille en moi tant de sensations. je souhaite que 2003 vous apporte à vous et à vos amis autant de joie que vous en apportez à ceux qui ont le privilège de vous connaître |

Dear Christina, I love your CD's and I listen to them all the time. I hope you will make more amazing CD's with Marco Beasley. I think the combination of your group, your creativity, your intelligent research of repertoire and his beautiful voice and very special musical culture is the most amazing and magic combination that the early music scene has at the moment. Please let us share more of this magic with you!!!! All the best and thank you! Sandra | |

Dear Christina, i just got "Stefano Landi - Homo fugit velut umbra" for my birthday. I was trying to follow the text of Augellin while I was listening to it and I discoverd that the written text is missing a piece. I found it such a pitty as I had decided to learn it by heart. But as I don't speak Italian, I can't understand the words... So would I ask too much if I asked you to send me the lyrics of Augellin? Thank you, Márti Bencze from Holland | |

Dear Mrs. Christina Pluhar, I couldn't stand buying your new Kapsberger while browsing through the ancient music shelves in a Tel-Aviv music shop. Kapsberger is so extraordinary, warm, mystic, and touching, and there was so little recorded from him. Lucky I was to buy it. I learned to know you through this beautiful disk, so fresh, accurate, mannerism free and lovely, and I definitely fell in love with your music, the way that you played Kapsberger, with your ensemble. Hope to hear you playing here, in Tel-Aviv or Jerusalem. At least will look for your other CDs. Wish you good luck, and lots of energy to make more disks such as this one. Sincerely yours, Eran Ovadia | |

Beste Mevrouw Pluhar, Ik sluit me aan bij de talrijke lofbetuigingen van vele bewonderaars die al eerder onder de indruk zijn gekomen van uw muziek. Ik geef toe dat vooral de figuur van Marco Beasley, die ik solo en met Daedalus aan het werk hoorde en zag, mij naar uw laatste CD heeft geleid. Ik kan er niet alleen voortreffelijke zangers maar meteen een schitterend ensemble beter leren mee kennen. Prachtige muziek, ontroering en enthoesiasme. Ik weet dat jullie enige weken geleden in Kortrijk optraden: ik heb het te laat geweten. Jammer. In elk geval gefeliciteerd: "La Tarantella" is heerlijk... |

Dear Mrs Pluhar, I have just bought the CD "La Tarantella" and I would like to tell you how much I like it. Its just so emotional, your music makes me danse, lough, cry... I really react very strongly to this music with all my being, and there a not very many CD's that evoke those kind of emotions in me. I want to thank you for what you have given to us,- it is a big present, which enrichens the life! I hope you will make many more CD's like that, even though at the moment I cannot imagine anything stronger and better. Lots of greetings from Elsa Ludoslawsky | |

Beste Christina, Met dit bericht wil ik je zeggen dat de beide CD's (Kapsberger en Landi) "echt waar" de mooiste CD's zijn die ik momenteel in huis heb. Fantastisch wat je met uw ensemble doet. Ik ben echt een grote fan geworden. Dit heb ik trouwens reeds aan Paulina Van aerhoven gezegd. Vooral de zangers Pino de Vitorio en Marco Beasly hebben me ontzettend ontroerd en ik kan haast niet wachten om me de volgende CD aan te schaffen. Nog veel succes en ook vele CD's, Jan Van Elsacker | |

Chère Mme Pluhar, J'ai eu la grande chance de pouvoir écouter "en avant-première"des extraits de votre nouvel enregistrement La Tarantella lors d'un stage de musique où je faisais de la danse avec Bruna Gondoni. Quel bonheur d'allier la beauté de ces mouvements avec cette musique si émouvante,bouleversante même. Il est impossible de rester de marbre lorsqu'on écoute cette petite merveille.Les voix sont magnifiques,en symbiose totale avec les instruments,à l'image du corps et de l'esprit quand on est pris dans ce flot musical. Avec toute ma sympathie et mon admiration Que viva la musica et merci encore Lisa, jeune violiste de 17 ans Ps:J'ai appris pour votre théorbe...Tous mes voeux "d'espoir",c'est doit être vraiment difficile à vivre.Courage! | |

j'ai découvert A TARENTELLA par France Musique et l'ai acheté immédiatement. C'est une pure merveille. On en attend beaucoup d'autres de cette qualité, de ce niveau de rêve dont nous avons tant besoin. Mais au fait en quelle langue est-il chanté: italien ancien? c'est très proche du Corse. espère avoir encore beaucoup d'occasions de vous écouter. Peut-être un jour viendrez vous du coté de Toulouse |

Dear Christina, I read about your stolen theorbo! That'a really terrible. I hope you will get a new one very soon soon, becaus the sound of your beautiful instrument (I think Klaus T. Jacobsen is the best!) makes just part of the beautiful sound of your group. I feel with you, and it makes me furious to think, that people, who will certinly not know to make such good use of that wonderful theorbo have it in their hands. I wish you all the best!! Sybille PS: please Klaus, make her a new one very soon, she deserves it!!! | |

Dear Christina, I just bought the new Tarantella CD. This is the best CD you have done so far, even though they all are very, very good (I especially liked the Kapsberger CD) But your approach to music is just overwhelming and revolutionary. It is so fantastic to hear the traditional music in a pure state, get rid of modern arrangements and eletronic instruments. It becomes pure emotion. You have an extreme sensibility of instrumentation in order to make voices shine, as we never hear them in other contexts. Also your choice of singers is just perfect taste. I am very touched by your work. The level of Early music CD's and performances has gone down drastically, and it obviously needed you to bring us the joy and high quality of music-making back! Greetings Sandra | |

Dear Christina, I heard your concert in Utrecht. This was by far the most exciting concert I have heard in the festival for a long time! Congratulations to you, and all your musicians, singers and dancers!! Lucilla Galeazzi is absolutely fabulous, and it is wonderful, that the "early music" audience gets a chance to know her through your work. The dancers were spectacular, and I was especially impressed by Ferdinando and Pietro Gagliardi. Brillant performance, brillant concept, brillant execution! Please continue surprising us and enchanting us... Greetings Kees | |

Dear Christina, The concert you gave in Utrecht was suberb, actualy one of the best I ever heard! This is the way old music should sound these day’s. It was like long ago when I first heard Leonhardt in the Bach cantatas when I was a boy, sitting for my radio listening to Belgian radio 3. Ofcourse totaly different music, but it was the spirit from the music and the musicians, that make me feel like I was for a while in Heaven. Again with you, and your wonderful group, there was this spirit! Thank you, and please come back to Holland soon! |

Dear Christina Thank you so much for such a fantastic concert which you gave last sunday at the Old Music Festival in Utrecht with L'Arpeggiata and Lucilaa Galeazzi and company in the Napolitan Tarantella. The public went out of their heads so to say, both for the musicians as for the singers and dancers(!). I think this was the best concert of the festival (I only heard 9 of them, out of 70?). I really am looking forward to the Tarantella CD, and shall advice everybody I know to buy it. Hope to see you soon again! Regards to Paulina van Laarhoven! |

Auch alle meine Freunde sind begeistert und wollen sich die CD zulegen. - Die Internetseite finde ich ebenso stark. Da merkt man, daß man Profis am Werk waren. Weiter so! Ich freue mich schon sehr auf die nächste CD und ein Konzert in Österreich... Thomas |

Hi, I love your Cd's, and I enjoyed especially the second one. I love the colours, and the voices. I really think that you have a great talent for chosing the right kind of pieces for different voices. I like very much Marco Beasley's voice, but I think he sounds especially good in the contexts of your group. It seems that he has found the perfect sound surround with Arpeggiata. Hope to hear other projects with him and your wonderful musicians soon. Sincerly Yours Nicolas | |
