Sony, 1998
Beautiful Harmonies and Vocalizations
Like another reviewer, I am thrilled at Lo! He Comes, as well as with the unfamiliar setting for Hark the Herald Angels Sing and the beautiful Sing We the Virgin Mary. If you love beautiful vocalizations, especially rare soprano-alto harmonizations, this is the album ...
Missa Mexicana
Andrew Lawrence-King
, The Harp Consort
Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2002
Fabulous, exciting Baroque music
The title says it all. I cannot add to the other laudatory reviews. Pay no attention whatsoever to the negative review. The writer obviously has no comprehension of what music is about. This is fabulous Baroque music with Latin and African flavoring. We who love ...

Hyperion UK, 2001
Exquisite, with glimpses of a transcendental beauty
I can't believe it. This is the first "Christmas" disc I ever bought and am still regularly listening to ... nine months post-holiday, now! This collection is replete with sparks of worship and awe. The festive jaunt embarks on a well-executed, majestic baroque ...

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 ...

I love it and I give it as a gift
This is the first collection of choral music that I've purchased and I love it. I own copies of operas and requiems and masses, but if you attend choral concerts, as I have been recently, you learn there is a huge colletion of choral music appart from the forms I've ...

A feast of little known music from the Court of Charles V
In 1557 Luis Venegas de Henestrosa composed a "book" of music using themes from other composers (Spanish and Flemish) for the Court of Charles V, the most powerful ruler in Europe. (He was not only King of Spain and Flanders but also the Holy Roman Emperor, with ...
Spanish Dances
Lucas Ruiz de Ribayaz
, The Harp Consort
RCA, 1996
Wonderful, beautiful, sublime!
This is one of my favorite Classical albums. The approach to the music by King's ensemble is definitive. What do I mean? King's approach is as definitive as Bohm is to Mozart, as Dorati is to Haydn, and as Karajan is to Beethoven. (Perhaps a better comparison would be ...

Sing We Noel- add to your collection
I have had this for years and it is by far the one that is played over and over. The voices and instrumentation are clear and beautifull without ever feeling sentimental. This authentically researched collection would probably suit the eclectic listener who ...
Luz y Norte [Germany]
Harp Consort
Deutsche Harm Mundi, 1996
Spanish, Italian, South American and African dances of the 16thC.
This is a collection of Spanish, Italian, South American and African dance, much of it Baroque from the 16th Century. The selections appear to be the repertoire of Lucas Ruiz de Ribayaz y Foncea. They are delightful, wonderful listening pleasure. This CD ...

Carolan's Harp
This work is a wonderful tribute to a musical genius form the late 1600's / early 1700's. Some have called Carolan the National Composer of Ireland. The arrangements are suprerb, the recording is bright and warm and the material ( like all great art ), remains fresh ...

Fabulous!
I am a huge fan of Renaissance music, and I have to say, this recording is truly outstanding! The blend, dynamics, style and tone really need to be heard to be appreciated. The addition of the Harp Consort to this already superlative group also gets a big "thumbs up" ...

RCA, 1997
A bit jumpy
My only problem with this cd is how quickly it moves from style to style, sometimes even cutting off before the end of a song! Just when I start to really get into it song (which is easy to do--there are some great ones on this cd) it ends, and a totally different ...
