Accolades: "Just like love, great music can come from unexpected places...Scaramella played with a grace and precision that one normally associates with friends who have been making music together for years. As an ensemble, they were mesmerizing." John Terauds, December 9, 2005, Toronto Star "Joëlle Morton gave a thoughtful and spirited performance of Dutch composer virtuoso Johannes Schenck's Sonata in a. I'd never before heard music by Schenck, but Morton's performance left me wanting to hear more." Nancy Tooney, June 2002, The New York Recorder Guild Early Music Newsletter "Morton was not one to plug through the continuo and let the singer do all the work. Morton's cello-like viola da gamba...echoed Taranto's hot feeling or egged her on as it filled gaps in the vocal line. Morton draws an uncommonly meaty sound from the usually shy viol...getting in the fastest divisions of the beat in Thomas Balthazar's variations on John Come Kiss." Tom Strini, February 18, 2002, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "The outstanding and virtuosic instrumental solos were well handled on authentic copies of baroque instruments...Joëlle Morton gave fine support."
