Medieval chants in honour of Our Lady
This compilation of english chants from the 13th and 14th centuries in honour of Our Lady is really sublime, depicting an hipotethical Mass similar to those that could be sung in praise of God's Mother, in the afore-mentioned period. Anonymous 4 sing beautifully, and ...

awesome value -- 5+ stars
I'm really enthusiastic about these CDs and booklet. I've had it for a few weeks now, in which I've explored Medieval and Renaissance music much more deeply than this little book and CD set. Yet I'm very glad I started with these. The selection of composers gives an ...

Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina
Gimell UK, 2005
The great master of Renaissance counterpoint sung by 20th century masters of gorgeous contrapuntal singing
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina is considered by many to be the greatest composer of liturgical music of all time. Born in obscurity, his birth year is debated, but it was sometime between 1514 and 1526 and died world famous in Rome in 1594. Palestrina was not a ...

A Resounding Success
If one read the album notes but failed to read the fine print on the rear of the jacket, one would likely assume that this recording was made in Notre Dame Cathedral, which it was not. It was recorded at Chancelade Abbey, Dordogne, France. ...

Hyperion UK, 2006
Absolutely gorgeous!
The Westminster Cathedral Choir does consistently fine work: one can always depend on their precision, musicality and good taste. Their sound is bright and forward, more like a French choral sound than the usually darker English sound. The lush, reverberant acoustics ...

English Renaissance vocal music of stunning beauty
If the Beach Boys at their most sublime (say on Don't Worry Baby or Let Him Run Wild) or their artistic model, The Four Aces, doubled their forces and then sang their most ravishing harmonies in a perfect acoustic venue recorded with the latest multichannel technology, ...

Gimell UK, 2001
The best recording of a Renaissance mass
In my opinion, this is the best recording of a Renaissance mass. The quality of the recording is wonderful, and the singing is also excellent. It is not completely authentic, however, because the Tallis Scholars do use female singers to replace the boys that would ...

The final track alone is worth the purchase
If you like traditional hymns done the traditional way (with choir and organ), this CD is a good one. A typical hymn-sing, but a great recording of it. This isn't your grandma's choir. The arrangements aren't too flashy, but the final selection ("All Hail the Power") ...

What I know about The Old Hall Manuscript, it is the greatest, most accomplished, and important source of England's hallowed music of the late 14th and early 15th centuries. This recording has been able to convey best source for English music of the late era of the ...
