"The mistress, a collection of love poems by Abraham Cowley, was a bestseller of the seventeenth century. It offerered the reader a window to the love-talk of the court: with it, any man could gaze on the alluring and remote mistress; any woman could emulate her style of seduction; all could become lovers. The contemporary musical settings heighten that poetry, and in these performances it is brought alive for us today in an irresistible manner." (Thomas Calhoun, CD-boekje)
