Bach Edition: Complete Works (155 CD Box Set)
Johann Sebastian Bach, Andrew Manze, ...

Brilliant Classics, 2006

An Excellent Value
To get the entire works of Bach in a collection of this type for this price is just wonderful. I have given these as gifts and those who have received them have raved about them. Just an excellent value.
  
  











  



  
Music for a Medieval Banquet
Anonymous, Codex Faenza Anonymous, ...

Hmf Classical Exp., 2001

A good, simple bargain, with a sweet reward
This simple little album reminds me of what it is that I love most about the Italian Renaissance - its barefaced passion and gut level power. So playful and raucous at times that I felt as if I were in a scene from Pasolini's irreverent "Decameron" and at other ...
  
  











  



  
Corelli: 12 Concerti grossi, op. 6
Jaap ter Linden, Arcangelo Corelli, ...

Archiv Produktion, 1999

Corelli's famous Concerti by my favorite period instrument orchestra and conductor
Trevor Pinnock's recording of Corelli's Op. 6 Concerti grossi will not be to all tastes. Those raised on traditional instrument recordings by such as Max Goberman/Vienna Sinfonietta (Odyssey LPs, circulated in the 1970s) or Paul Angerer/Southwest German Chamber ...
  
  











  



  
Sinners & Saints: The Ultimate Medieval and Renaissance Music Collection
Alfonso X (el Sabio), Anonymous, ...

Decca, 1996

a voice teacher and early music fan
MUSIC OF THE PEOPLE FROM THE MIDDLE AGES AND THE RENAISSANCE PRESENTED BY PHILIP PICKETT. To quote from the accompanying booklet seems to be in order to start this review: "This collection attempts to wipe the dust from some old ideas and restore music from the ...
  
  











  



  
Gabrieli · Monteverdi · Vivaldi - Venetian Church Music / Taverner Consort, Choir & Players · Andrew Parrott
Giovanni Gabrieli, Claudio Monteverdi, ...

EMI Classics, 2001

exceptional tone quality
When I purchased this recording, I had not yet had the pleasure of owning an Andrew Parrott/Taverner Consort recording. I was so impressed! Andrew really excercises an understanding of this genre, an understanding that I haven't often seen. In particular I was quite ...
  
  











  



  
Essential Purcell
Henry Purcell, New College Choir Oxford, ...

Hyperion UK, 1995

The beauty of the songs brings tears to my eyes
Absolutely beautiful baroque music! The arrangament, singing and instrumentation is superb. It is too bad that Henry Purcell is not as widely known as Bach, because he should be recognized equally well."The Sparrow and the Gentle dove" is alone worth the price of the ...
  
  











  



  
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 ...
  
  











  



  
Monteverdi: Vespro della Beata Vergine 1610/Venetian Vespers
Claudio Monteverdi, Andrew Parrott, ...

EMI Classics, 2000

Punctilious Research and Performance Practice
Recorded in 1983 and 1984 at All Saints? Church, Tooting (London), this double CD is still something of a classic, presenting Monteverdi?s 1610 Vespers in punctilious historical performance practice, basically using, despite the large forces involved, soloists to ...
  
  











  



  
Johann Sebastian Bach: 6 Brandenburg Concertos / 4 Orchestral Suites - The English Concert / Trevor Pinnock
Johann Sebastian Bach, Trevor Pinnock, ...

Archiv Produktion, 1989

Outstanding period performances
These recordings are excellent. Pinnock's Brandenburg concertos remain the standard for period instruments, offering exceptional musicianship and an authentic rendition. The Overtures are also great, although I greatly prefer the readings of Reinhard Goebel and Musica ...
  
  











  



  
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 ...

Yet another great bargain-priced package from Naxos effectively provides an overview of the rich Baroque period with two discs containing more than 2 ½ hours of music and a comprehensive, 140-page primer booklet. Compiled by music historian Clive Unger-Hamilton, the ...
  
  











  



  
Bach: Magnificat; Easter Oratorio
Johann Sebastian Bach, Andrew Parrott, ...

EMI Classics, 2000

The Extreme End of the Minimalist Spectrum: The Purity of Bach
Andrew Parrott conducts the Taverner Consort and Players is a very affordable set of discs that allow everyone to experience the 'non-choral' choral Bach. Instead of the usual chorus (even the pared down choruses of 16 - 30 members the way most 'authentic' ...
  
  











  



  
Consort of Musicke by William Byrd & Orlando Gibbons; Sweelinck: Fantasia in D (The Glenn Gould Edition)
Glenn Gould, William Byrd, ...

Sony, 1993

Enraptured visions!
The interpretative art of Glenn Gould reached sidereal dimensions in this occasion playing the British virginalists. Gould made the complete journey and ellaborated a fine and fascinating portrait about the moods, mesmerizing approach, creating a spelling atmsophere ...
  
  











  



  
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 ...
