Description: Another blast from the pre-"authentic performance style" past brings some Pergolesi rarities, like the 1734 Mass, more than a little operatic in style, and the brief but attractive sonatas and organ pieces on the first disc. And the performances of the larger-scale works are sprightlier than you might think if you remember the Boccherini symphony recordings by these players! 3 CDs. Angelo Ephrikian (conductor). 1966-67 Arcophon recordings.
