Album review: Charles Mouton, 10 Concerti à 5

****Challenge CC72336, £13.99

Which makes the discovery of this collection of 17th-century music by French composer Charles Mouton in an Austrian abbey all the more surprising. Ars Antiqua Austria's sprightly recording reveals an overlooked composer who deserves a wider audience.
