Collegium, 2006 Marvelous This is superb a capella singing. Each note, each syllable, is just right. John Rutter has a genius for writing and, as is the case here, performing religious choral music.

This really is a beautiful collection of music. "The Triumphs of Oriana" was published in 1601 by famous English composer Thomas Morley as a collection of songs honoring Queen Elizabeth (Oriana). 25 major English composers' songs are in here, except for William Byrd.

Gimell UK, 2001 a voice teacher and early music fan 1980 RECORDING OF ALLEGRI'S MISERERE CONSIDERED BY MANY TO BE THE FINEST PERFORMANCE THUS FAR. Quite simple in construction, much of its impact relies on the conditions of performance,especially the acoustic. And so the TALLIS SCHOLARS have used a reverberant building.

This recording by the Tallis Scholars under the direction of Peter Phillips is considered by many to be the finest performance of Allegri's "Miserere". This composition is quite simple in construction and much of it's impact relies on the conditions of performance, especially on the acoustic. And so the Tallis ...             Boxed7 reviews Mike Oldfield Virgin Records Us, 2002 A Must for Oldfield Fans I have to say it... this is one of the best showcases of Mike's earlier work. This remixed version of "Tubular Bells" was created as a way to convince Mike that a quadraphonic mix should be created and released. Mike listened and proclaimed it perfect as was, so it was released. The original version, compared to this remix, sounded cluttered and confused. Also, the original American quad ...             Elizabethan Songs and Consort Music2 reviews Peter Wendland, John Taverner, ... Naxos, 2000 Great Music from Elizabeth's time This is an exceptional disc of music in height of popularity at the court of Elizabeth I, and a bargan on the Naxos label(they have several titles of early music available). The songs are all of high performance quality, and highly recomended to those interested in Elizabeth and her world. Several tracks for me stand out, including "Pour Down,You Pow'rs Divine", "Climb Not To High", and "Eliza, ...             Elizabethan Consort Music: 1558-16036 reviews Hesperion XX, Savall Alia Vox Spain, 1998 Transported to another age Not that many years ago, my favourite classical DJ expressed the view that "original instruments" ensembles were a "passing fad". He was strong in his belief that early instruments, even those manufactured today on early models, couldn't provide the depth and range of music his critical ear required. The emergence of La Petite Band began the process of bending his rigid outlook. When Jordi ...             Tudor Anthems2 reviews Robert Parsons, Anonymous, ...

DTR/Direct-to-Tape Recording Co., 2009 Widely recognized as some of the most prolific composers of the English Renaissance, this disc explores the beauty and spacious writing of these English masters, while responding to a sort of 'pre-Reformation' compositianal style by using only Latin texts of the Catholic liturgy. The tremendous sincerity of the texts, and the absolute verve and pomp of the music make this recording a most essential part of any CD collection.             Mundy: Cathedral Music William Mundy, The Sixteen Hyperion UK, 1993 You rarely if ever hear the name William Mundy mentioned along with those of Thomas Tallis and William Byrd; but, together with Robert White, Mundy was one of the more inventive and adventurous composers of the 16th century. No composer of this period used more fearlessly or effectively the deliciously discordant device known as "cross-relation"--a deliberate clash between two parts created by altering the pitch of one of the notes. Mundy ...             Coronation of the First Elizabeth English Traditional, Claude Gervaise, ... Griffin (Qualiton), 2002             Live in Oxford1 review Tallis Scholars Polygram Records, 1998 Stunning! The transcendent power of this music has surprised me time and time again. The clarity of the recording effectively recreates the performance with every listen. The Tallis Scholars deftly invigorate the works of Obrecht and Mundy; resulting in a fascinating duality of comforting/haunting experiences for the listener.
