“The continuo trio of Michael Thomas Asmus, Keiran Campbell, and Jason Priset was an all-star group made up of an experienced continuo harpsichordist, a member of Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, and an expert in lute and historical guitar. They were excellent throughout and provided a solid backbone for the singers and orchestra...”

“The seven Piffaro musicians channeled sounds from the Spanish courts and Peruvian missions, peasant dances, and folk tunes. There are no weak links among Piffaro musicians. Each is a virtuoso on these difficult instruments.”

“Tempos and accents were carefully related within
and between arias… theorbo player Jason Priset
underlined the important recitatives. ”

“I have known Dr. Jason Priset for more than a decade, and in that time, I have watched his talents as a musician and performing artist develop considerably. As a performer on various historical plucked instruments (theorbo, baroque guitar, lute, bandora), Jason is one of the best around. He always comes prepared and turns in high-level performances. I have invited him to perform and record with me in various early music groups I direct, such as the Bacheler Consort and Hofstra Collegium Musicum. He is an excellent continuo player who can adapt quickly to the demands of singers or other instrumentalists. His work ethic and ability to get along comfortably with other ensemble members also impressed me. Jason is a respectful, positive artist who is a delight to work with. I always look forward to performing with him.”
