關於英國倫敦「威格摩爾廳Wigmore Hall」：
1901年由德國「貝赫斯坦Bechstein」鋼琴公司所建造的倫敦威格摩爾音樂廳，原名「貝赫斯坦音樂廳」。當年五月三十一日與六月一日，在義大利鋼琴家布梭尼、比利時小提琴家意沙易以及烏克蘭鋼琴家帕赫曼等大師的音樂會中揭開序幕。一次世界大戰期間的1916年，由英國公司買下並改名「威格摩爾音樂廳」。此廳以文藝復興風格設計，完美的音響效果適合獨奏、聲樂以及室內樂的演出。在其一百多年的歷史中，吸引無數音樂家在此獻藝，包括作曲家聖桑、普羅柯菲夫、普朗克、亨德密特、葛人傑、鋼琴家許納貝爾、魯賓斯坦、聲樂家梅爾巴、卡羅素、舒娃茲柯芙，以及大提琴家杜普蕾和阿瑪迪斯四重奏團等。此廳不但是音樂家們在倫敦初次登台的主要場所，更深受樂壇大師級人物與廣大聽眾所喜愛。(Wigmore Hall Live)
關於本輯：
國外媒體樂評：
★每日電訊報The Daily Telegraph - Carolyn Sampson’s pure soprano cossets the words, savouring their expressive implications, relishing their shifts of rhythm and subtly sighing with bliss, yearning or heartache depending on the circumstances.
★英國獨立報The Independent：當週推薦專輯 - Together (Sampson & Wadsworth) weave a superb tapestry of little-known 17th century vocal music. Album of the Week.
★早期音樂雜誌Early Music Review - Matthew Wadsworth really is a quite extraordinary musician, graceful, civilised and intelligent. He has an enormous ability to draw an audience into his own world.
