Discover Early Music
Alfonso X (el Sabio), 11th century French Polyphony Anonymous, ...

Naxos, 2005

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 ...
  
  











  



  
Classic Thanksgiving Songs of Praise
Arcangelo Corelli, Giovanni Gabrieli, ...

Naxos, 2000

Setting the mood.
This is a great collection of fall/harvest/thanksgiving hymnes. I enjoyed listening to it and getting in the Thanksgiving mood.
  
  











  



  
Byrd: Mass for Four Voices; Mass for Five Voices; Infelix ego
William Byrd, Jeremy Summerly, ...

Naxos, 1994

Intense devotion, splendid performance!
Amongst the greatest late-Renaissance, sacred-music composers- Paletrina, Lassus, Tomas Luis de Victoria, Thomas Tallis, William Byrd- I have to confess that De Victoria and William Byrd caught my heart above all else. De Victoria's music expresses a range of ...
  
  











  



  
A to Z of Classical Music
Ernst Ottensamer, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Naxos, 2000

Great Tracks -- Great Value -- Great Book, Who Can Complain?
Naxos is a fabulous label -- you will not get samples of the best classical music through the ages at no better price. These tracks are as good as any of the over-priced major orchestras and in some cases better. This is a great starter set for a beginner or anyone ...
  
  











  



  
Palestrina: Missa Hodie Christus natus est; Stabat Mater; Lasus: Missa Bell' Amfitrit' altera
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Orlande de Lassus, ...

Naxos, 1993

An excellent CD at any price
The coupling of the three works on this recordings does an excellent job of further helping to explode the old myth that Palestrina is more notable for his masses, whereas Lassus' is more notable for his motets. The motet, Stabat Mater, is widely admired as one of ...
  
  











  



  
Palestrina: Missa Papae Marcelli, Missa Aeterna
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Jeremy Summerly, ...

Naxos, 1994

Something familiar, something new
--Palestrina-- Giovanni Pierluigi de Palestrina is sometimes called the greatest composer of the Roman Catholic church. Born in 1525 near Rome, he spent the better part of his career in service to the church as a choir member, choir master, conductor, composer and ...
  
  











  



  
Fauré: Requiem; Messe basse; Cantique de Jean Racine
Nicholas Gedge, Gabriel Faure, ...

Naxos, 1994

GENTLE AND PERSONAL
MAY I PARAPHRASE GABRIEL FAURE--"I'VE WRITTEN A GENTLE LITTLE REQUIEM, AS GENTLE AS I AM." HOW TRUE. ABSENT ARE THE SWIRLING STRINGS, THE SNARLING BRASS AND HEAVEN STORMING MASSIVE CHORAL FORCES OF BERLIOZ, VERDI AND BRAHMS. NEITHER DO WE HEAR THE CASTILLIAN PASSION ...
  
  











  



  
Tallis: Spem in alium; Missa Salve intemerata
Thomas Tallis, Jeremy Summerly

Naxos, 2005

Wholly beautiful; a wonderful evidence that Tallis is unjustly overlooked
From beginning to end, Summerly and the Oxford Camerata are entirely convincing. They make a strong case for the music of Thomas Tallis. And although some of it contains theologically inaccurate doctrine, the music is still delightful. Spem in alium is rapturous in ...
  
  











  



  
The Best of Fauré
Gabriel Faure, Antonio de Almeida, ...

Naxos, 1999

An excellent compilation of Faure's work
I bought this cd not knowing anything about Gabriel Faure's music. A local orchestra was planning to perform Masques et Bergamasques, so I picked this cd being the most inexpensive way of buying something I possibly was not going to enjoy. But nothing could be further ...
  
  











  



  
von Bingen: Celestial Harmonies
Hildegard Von Bingen, Summerly, ...

Naxos, 2008

Mystic Music
Yet another beautiful collection of songs of devotion in Latin, that send you soaring high, whether you are sitting quietly listening to them, or hearing them while you cook. What more could I say?
  
  











  



  
Schütz - The Christmas Story ˇ Cantiones sacrae ˇ Psalm 100 / P. Agnew ˇ A. Crookes ˇ M. McCarthy ˇ Oxford ...
Heinrich Schutz, Jeremy Summerly, ...

Naxos, 1996

An excellent recording
This is one of the best recordings of The Christmas Story I have ever heard. I am a music collector, so I know what I'm talking about. The performer, Oxford Camerata, is a fine ensemble in and of itself, but it is strengthened exponentially in this recording by ...
  
  











  



  
Josquin: Missa L'homme armé; Ave Maria; Absalom fili mi
Josquin Desprez, Jeremy Summerly, ...

Naxos, 1998

Fabulous music, Fine performance, Great price. Get it now!
This is glorious music sung wonderfully by the Oxford Camerata under the skilled direction of Jeremy Summerly. I am a huge fan of Josquin's music and consider him one of the great composers of all time. The group singing this has only a dozen voices and they sing ...
  
  











  



  
Dufay: Missa L'homme armé; Supremum est mortalibus bonum
Michael McCarthy, French Anonymous, ...

Naxos, 1995

A Great Recording of Dufay's Mass Plus
Dufay was the music master of the early Renaissance, and this disc contains his mass setting of the greatest hit of the later middle ages and Renaissance, "L'homme arme", plus recordings of the song itself as well as chants and motets utilizing the tune as their basis, ...
  
  











  



  
Gesualdo: Complete Sacred Music for Five Voices
Carlo Gesualdo, Jeremy Summerly, ...

Naxos, 1996

Bizarre but obsessively fascinating music
Don Carlo Gesualdo (1560 - 1613) was rich, artistic, and - as the second son of a noble Neapolitan family - free to indulge his passion for music. But when his brother died, and it was decreed that he must carry on the line. The bride found for him - Donna Maria ...
  
  











  



  
Lassus: Masses for Five Voices; Infelix ego
Orlande de Lassus, Jeremy Summerly, ...

Naxos, 1994

Two masses of great sensual beauty
Orlando Lassus or Roland di Lasso (c.1532 - 1594) stands as one of the most fascinating composers of the Seconda Prattica - a group of composers who stand apart from their predecessors in that their music reflects the social and political upheavels of the Reformation ...
