Splendid
David Munrow turned me on to early music thirty-five years ago. His entire work was produced on CD format about ten years ago. One can only wonder what would have happened to music if not for his untimely death. Anything done by him is well worth the price.

Just Your Average Church Choir...
You can't go wrong with any of Edith Ho's recordings with her Boston choir. This one is particularly valuable in that it explores a relatively little known composer of the period between Josquin and Palestrina. Manchicourt wrote beautiful music and here it is ...
