Exceptional Sound
I first came across this item on a friend's superior sound system. It has a real natural warmth that should especially appeal to audiophiles as well as general fans of early music.
Schenk: The Nymphs of the Rhine, Vol. 2
Johannes Schenck
, Les Voix Humaines
Naxos, 2001
Outstanding period-instrument performance at a great price
Naxos has done it again--brought us a beautifully recorded performance of unjustly neglected early music performed with good taste and finesse on period instruments. Schenk is one of those rare-fruits who has lingered for too long in the shadow of his more famous ...

Best classical music recording of the year 1999
This outstanding production has just won the "Best Classical Album Of The Year" Award (Félix) at the Gala de l'ADISQ 2000 - the equivalent of a Grammy in the USA. Counter tenor Daniel Taylor,Soprano Suzie Leblanc, Les Voix Humaines (viola da gamba duet), Francis ...

Bean sings?
A friend lent me Villazon's debut album as an introduction to the man. I loved it - but this is the one I have bought. If, like me, you have tired of the comparisons between Villazon and others (esp Domingo) fear not, this artist is an original. I must confess that on ...
Schenck: The Nymphs of the Rhine, Vol. 1 (Sonatas for Two Violas da Gamba) / Les Voix Humaines
Johannes Schenck
Naxos, 2001
Rare and expressive music.
I never thought these pieces would get a "complete" recording, but leave it to Naxos to take a chance on music that is rarely heard or performed. The collection "Le Nymphe di Rheno" is a collection of twelve sonatas (really, they are more like suites) for two viols da ...

Naxos, 1996
For all moods
I'm not an expert on classical music, and my review will not be a technical one - all I know is if you enjoy baroque and/or the deep, affecting tones of the viol, you will really enjoy this. This is a CD which is alternately pensive and stirring. Great stuff if you ...
Sainte-Colombe: Concerts a deux violes esgales, Vol. 4
Jean de Sainte-Colombe
Atma Classique, 2007
strongly recommened
I like this cd very much,in fact,the whole set of Mr.Colombe's all double viols' works, the superb elegant expression of French chamber music, so biwildering

Music of angels
This disc features a variety of players or groups and individuals, including several of my favorites within this genre(time period music) such as Jordi Savall, Hesperion XX and Montserrat Figueras. The music was recorded between 1998-2001. Being relatively uninformed ...
Lawes: The Harp Consorts
William Lawes
, Les Voix Humaines, ...
Atma Classique, 2008
Obscure but excellent
I suppose you could view this music as a first cousin of the viol consort - here we have 2 violas da gamba, violin, harp and theorbo. Lawes was one of the leading composers in the time of Charles I; he died in his early forties, having been fatally wounded at the siege ...

Like overhearing a personal conversation of great depth
This is the first time I have bought a CD of solo viol music and before this disc I had never heard of Paolo Pandolfo. This music is an intensly personal journey through five centuries. The solo performance intensifies what is already beautiful music. From a set of ...

Viola da Gamba at its best
Jordi Savall is a player of rare sensitivity and virtuosity. This CD of solo works for the viola da gamba is an encylopedia of gamba styles and a treasure chest of baroque compositions. From start to finish this CD is riveting, the beauty of his playing and the ...

A must-have CD for an outstanding price
I first read about Daniel Taylor on the SchollSociety messageboards and Amazon.com and I was intrigued. A Canadian countertenor with a voice comparable to Andreas Scholl's? ...I couldn't resist. I took it along on a three-hour bus ride to Tadoussac, Québec. As the ...
