EMI Classics, 2004 Ever wondered what was before Bach, Lully, or Palestrina? During the days of the Renaissance, the madrigal was one of the most popular musical forms and outputs. The King's Singers, a modern-day all male vocal group, demonstrate the authentic sound of which these 34 chosen madrigals may have been performed. In the ...             Olde English Madrigals & Folk Songs at Ely Cathedral John & Cambridge Singers Rutter, English Anonymous, ... American Gramaphone, 1990 Music for the masses This disc is a bit different from many of the Cambridge Singers' discs in that it is exclusively secular songs. They have retained one of their favourite recording spaces, the Lady Chapel at Ely Cathedral, a structure well atuned to a capella singing (it has a natural ...             The Golden Age of English Lute Music Daniel Bacheler, Barick Bulman, ... RCA, 1996 GOLDEN AGE OF BREAM This disc comprises 24 pieces recorded during the 60's by Bream then sporting a fine head of hair.

Soundart Recordings, 1998 Delightful I've bought other alubums of mandolin and guitar and enjoyed them, but this is my favorite. All the selections are enjoyable.

Sony, 1990 The finest brass ensembles all on 1 album I got this CD quite a while ago, and I still listen to it almost daily.

Dorian Recordings, 1997             Dowland - The Collected Works / The Consort of Musicke, Rooley John Dowland, Anthony Rooley, ... Decca, 2007 a beautiful journey into melancholy I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was ...             Tunes From the Attic Chris Norman, Larry Kipkis, ... Dorian Recordings, 1997 Beautiful melodies, impeccable performances The Baltimore Consort have recorded the "leftovers" in this collection, songs that hadn't made other CD's, so it's an interesting mix of tunes from several time periods.

EMI Classics, 2000 Not stilted but powerfully alive My idea of stilted is to sing these madrigals in the phony, glee-club RP style endured for so many years, that made precious, quaint curiosities of them. The Elizabethan pronunciation on this CD is an eye and ear-opener. We may appreciate how much of that speech ...             Fantasies, Ayres and Dances - Elizabethan and Jacobean Consort Music Richard Alison, Daniel Bacheler, ... RCA, 1990 Wonderful reading of Elizabethan and Jacobean pieces Elizabethan/Jacobean music is not particularly accessible to the average listener, who generally hears a bowdlerized background music at a Renfest or gets some sense of it through Anglican church harmony.
