Take a journey back in time with a visit to the First Scots Presbyterian Church in Charleston, S.C., during the Piccolo Spoleto Festival for the location of this live recording.

Colonial America

Hesperus Early/Traditional Music Ensemble

Maggie's Music, 2003

Fantastic!
I first heard the "Colonial America" CD by Hesperus when I visited Monticello recently (the home of Thomas Jefferson) where they were playing the songs in the gift shop. Imagine my dismay to find that only one cassette tape was left of the fabulous music of Hesperus; ...

Henry Aldrich, Anonymous, ...

Dorian Recordings, 1993

Prelewd to Postlewd
The Baltimore Consort, an ensemble of six players, was founded in 1980 with the purpose of performing 'broken consort' pieces of Elizabethan origin. 'Broken' here refers to the instrumentation - treble viol/violin, flue/recorder, lute, cittern, bandore and bass viol. ...

Linda Burman-Hall & Lux Musica Ihsan Ozgen

Cantemir, Great Sultan, Louis XIV and Peter the Great
Firstly, I want to thank Lux Musica and Ihsan Ozgen for recording such a beautiful exquisite album. Moldavian prince Dmitrie Cantemir stood on cross-roads between the West, Russia and the Orient on the turning point of history - end of the 17th - beginning of 18th ...

English Country Dances

Douglass, Lawrence-King, ...

Hmf Classical Exp., 2002

aka "apollo's Banquet" watch out!
I can say that this was a surprise, and it's my fault for not checking the contents track by track. This is a re-issue of Apollo's banquet, and also a re-issue of the same from yet another name! I've had Apollo'w banquet for a long time. Somehow, I thought this CD ...

A Trip To Killburn: Playford Tunes And Their Ballads

Chris Norman, Mary Anne Ballard, ...

Dorian Recordings, 1996

Fun, frolicsome and utterly delightful!
The six member Baltimore Consort combines voice, wooden flute, recorder, bagpipes, rebec, lute, viols, cittern and Baroque guitar into a "broken consort" (a group of instruments that are not all the same kind)(obviously) to whip up spirited improvisations of popular ...

Â© 1990 Dorian Recordings, 1992

Awww, wow (^_^) I love this thing!
This cd is so pretty! I love scottish music, and there isn't a single song on this alphum i don't like. And that's coming from a 14 year old girl who dresses in black and listens to Marilyn Manson...@_@....eh, I always had weird tastes. I think i'm the only one my age ...

Country Capers/English Cty Dance

John Playford

Arabesque Recordings, 2009

An excellent collection of First Edition Playford dances.
This album is a must-have for any fan of English Country Dances. Every dance on the disc comes from John Playford's influential 1651 edition of the "English Dancing Master", and almost every track is perfectly dancable (I know this from personal experience). The ...

Throw the House out of the Windowe

Terry McKenna

Marquis Music, 2001

Let this sound fill your house
I first heard a cut from "Throw the House out of the Windowe" on the radio and it instantly got my attention. I said to my wife: "That's the kind of music I'd like to fill our house with." And so it proved to be - despite the ironic counterpoint of the album title. ...

Portrait

John Dowland, Santiago de Murcia, ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2000

Rock guitarist turned lutanist
I listen to this album over and over and never get tired of it. O'Dette's interpretations keep sounding fresh and alive, perhaps because of his rock background. This was the popular music of the time and he plays it that way. There's no dusty mustiness of age ...

Tunes From the Attic

Chris Norman, Mark Cudek, ...

Dorian Recordings, 1997

Beautiful melodies, impeccable performances
The Baltimore Consort have recorded the "leftovers" in this collection, songs that hadn't made other CD's, so it's an interesting mix of tunes from several time periods. It has on it a tune called "Well Hall" which I think ranks in my top five beautiful melodies of ...

Gut Wind and Wire

Baltimore Consort, Ronn McFarlane, ...

Dorian, 2007

Marvelous Music
This is an excellent sampler of early music performed by the Baltimore Consort. These musicians don't just capture the art, they capture the spirit of the age. This is wonderfully engaging music played by the best.
