Heavenly Harmonies [Hybrid SACD]
William Byrd, Thomas Tallis

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2008

More sublime harmonies from Stile Antico
Their first cd - Music for Compline - introduced a young Renaissance ensemble capable of creating vocal harmonies of pristine beauty while obviously relishing the musical perfection they created with a joy bordering on ecstasy: perfect for deeply religious music. Their ...

An exceptional and Moving Experience
This first offering from British vocal group stile antico is an exceptional listening experience. Beautiful and soothing, the vocals on this CD are ouststanding. This is a 5-star listen through and through. Also enjoyable is the booklet that comes with the CD ...
  
  











  



  
The Ultimate Guitar Collection
Isaac Albeniz, Anonymous, ...

Sony, 2005

The Best Compilation of the Man on 2 Discs! Great Sound Quality Too!
The title very aptly describes this great classical guitar album showcasing some of the best ever works of John Williams on 2 discs. The track selections are great as they span the centuries from the Baroque greats of Bach and Vivaldi to the modern day composers such ...
  
  











  



  
Thomas Tallis: Complete Works
William Byrd, Gregorian Chant, ...

Brilliant Classics, 2008

Another Superb Set from Brilliant Classics
I can't praise highly enough the service to the music world that Brilliant Classics is doing by issuing the complete works of both well-known and lesser-known masters. Brilliant is perhaps best known for its complete sets of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, each priced at ...

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 ...
  
  











  



  
Best of L.A.G.Q.
Johann Sebastian Bach, William "Count" Basie, ...

Delos Records, 1998

Recent Purchase that I'm Joyed to Find and Enjoy
Not until recently did I know about this guitar four. Hearing a number of their songs on internet classical radio, I decided I'd try this one. What a great surprise --- their arrangements of Copeland to Sousa to Praetorius are excellent and in taste. I'll be ...
  
  











  



  
English Renaissance Music
John Bull, William Byrd, ...

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. Best at night in a candlelit room while it's raining sipping fine wine and reminising of the Renaissance festival! (wierd, I know. But that's just me) If you have an interest in this time ...
  
  











  



  
Renaissance: Music For Inner Peace
The Sixteen

Decca, 2005

Great Music, Fine Performances
First off, the title of this album is misleading. Only one of the tracks stems from the high Renaisance. The rest span from the Reformation period to contemporary. All of them are liturgical, all of a certain calm and meditative style--which could be inferred from ...
  
  











  



  
British and American Band Classics
Robert Russell Bennett, Gustav Holst, ...

Philips, 1990

Fennell - A Wind Band Pioneer
'British and American Band Classics' is a great disc for band lovers and music lovers in general. Frederick Fennell has been one of the top leaders in wind band music for decades. Here, one of his early recordings with the Eastman Wind Ensemble survives as a ...
  
  











  



  
Watkins Ale: Music of the English Renaissance
Ann Marie Morgan, Richard Alison, ...

Dorian Recordings, 1992

More than just an alcoholic drink
The Baltimore Consort are performers in the truest sense -- the energy and sheer brilliance they exude during performances is infectious and heady. Luckily for those of us who rarely or never get to see them perform, all of this comes across in their recordings. This ...
  
  











  



  
Great Choral Classics from King's Choir of King's College, Cambridge
Bernard Richards, Kenneth Heath, ...

Decca, 1998

Absolutely glorious!
These musical performances are done with consummate artistry. The attack, the phrasing, the tempi, the interpretations are all presented with professionalism and first-rate musicianship. The organ and the setting, as well as choir and director, are associated ...
  
  











  



  
Agnus Dei II: Music to soothe the soul
Eamon Dougan, Tomaso Albinoni, ...

Erato, 1998

Awesome music - fidelity a bit lacking
The opening song "The Beatitudes" by Albinoni is incredibly moving, so much so that the other songs have a hard time comparing. Overall, excellent, although the fidelity could be greatly improved. I had to crank up my volume 30-40% higher to achieve a comparable ...
  
  











  



  
All At Once Well Met: English Madrigals; The King's Singers
John Dowland, Thomas Morley, ...

EMI Classics, 1990

Sumptuous and mellow
The six men of the King's Singers present sweet and light-hearted madrigals of such English composers as Morley, Weelkes, Dowland, Wilbye and Byrd. The thirty five selections include "Now is the Month of Maying", "Though Philomela Lost Her Love", "Sing We and Chant ...
  
  











  



  
Canadian Brass: Legends
Samuel Barber, William Byrd, ...

OPENING DAY ENT, 2008

Tribute to the Legends
"The compositions featured on LEGENDS are absolutely essential to appreciating the Canadian Brass legacy." That about sums up this cd. Fans of the Canadian Brass will find no new compositions on this album but will find new recordings of old standards. I find I ...
