Customer Reviews:
English Renaissance music done beautifully........2007-05-13
I bought this CD to have some authentic English Renaissance music in my collection,
and fell in love with it. The Earl of Oxford March is particularly appealing.
They don't come much better........2005-08-23
The incomparable Canadian Brass make this album a rare treat. From the first notes of Holborne's "Galliard" to the magnificent complexity of Byrd's "Fitzwilliam Suite", their renditions are sheer delight. The music is both relaxing and enjoyably stimulating. Repeated hearings allow the listener to discover some hidden turn or embellishment that was not noticed before, or to appreciate again the antiphonal and complementary interplay of the instruments in the antique harmonies they create. A most enjoyable recording.
The finest brass ensembles all on 1 album.......2002-01-31
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 period, you won't regret buying this CD.
An interesting spin on English Renaissance Music.......2000-08-09
The composers of 16th century England were able to take the music of other countries and produce something uniquely their own. So, too, has Canadian Brass taken English Renaissance music and made it into something wonderfully different. Immediately accessible (and acceptable) to modern ears, these tunes are a splendid treat. Almans and Galliards take on a whole new flavor when done entirely by brass instruments.
Great sound. Definitely a must for your collection........1999-11-05
I listen to this CD about once a week while riding to work so that I can keep my sanity. It was a gift from my daughters that keeps on giving.

Customer Reviews:
"Best Harpsichord Recording".......2005-11-05
I have always loved the sound of the Harpsichord and for many years hearing poorly recorded or played Harpsichord this treasure is a must have. From the fine compositions to the good sound quality this CD is definately a keeper.
Plenty of music for a moderate price as well.
Great.......2005-08-09
This CD is very very good just what I was looking for. I highly recommend this CD if you are planning on purchasing a Harpsicord CD, this one is the best.
a must-have for harpsichord lovers.......2004-04-30
I love the sound of this most unusual instrument, the harpsichord. Especially the fast intricately melodic songs. Very enjoyable. This "Greatest Hits" includes many compositions perfectly suited to this wonderful old predecessor to the piano. There's even a little funny trivia thrown in: on the song sheet is written: Q:"what did the famous conductor Sir Thomas say that the harpsichord sounds like? A: "Like two skeletons screwing on a hot tin roof" :)
David Rehak
author of "Love and Madness"
keeno.......2001-01-08
This is a fun cd. BYRD, BULL, BACH ETC come through great Scarlatti bits sound like a flock of unhappy cows running of a field of burnt popcorn but those bits generally do unless played on the African Kalimba [or thumb piano] in Africa where I need not hear them.
This is a well engineered CD. Many featuring the harpsichord demand a level of equipment beyond that of any regular person with bills, which means this disk sounds just fine on a boom box. Everybody in the family will like some part of this disk `cept for the 13 year old whose lost to punk rock or hip hop.
The Most Superb Harpsichord Sampler.......2000-07-27
I can't imagine a better sampler of harpsichord 'hits' played by one of the great stereo-era masters. A full complement of emotions is displayed here, from the most delicate and sparing texture to the most rip-roaring martial roar. If you're wondering what the harpsichord is about, or if you're already a fan and want a great sampler to play for your own delight and amusement, you cannot go wrong with this recording.

Customer Reviews:
a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-03-08
This is indeed a good representation of music from England and Spain and it is a bargain to get 2 cds for this price, CD 1 includes music by:William Byrd,Elway Bevin,Antonio de Cabezon,Hernando de Cabezon,Esteban Daza,Miguel de Fuenllana,Lopez,Diego Ortiz, Robert Parson,Picforth,Robert White. But please know that Michael Chance sings only 6 songs on CDl and none on CD 2. And only 4 of the 6 are "new", so know that before you purchase this disc if you are buying it only to hear him. Of course, the 4 new songs are quite interesting and I probably would buy it at this price to get them in my collection. The new songs are: "In Angel's Weed; "Pour Down,You pow'rs divine";"Morenica dame"; and "Quiente hizo". The 2 known songs (to Me) "Rejoice unto the Lord" and "
come to me Grief Forever". CD 2 includes music by: John Bull,William Byrd,John Dowland,Alfonso Holborne, William Lawes. The tunes that Chance sings are very attractive and he sings them with his usual expertise. Moreover, Fretwork is a talented experienced performing group, so when you combine them with the "golden" voice of Michael Chance, you know you have good listening in store.
Excellent and Pleasurable.......2001-01-31
This album contains the work of a great many composers, mostly from Spain and England, spanning several genres and two musical periods. For all that, the works complement one another extremely well, there are no jarring transitions, and nothing sticks out unpleasantly. The liner notes leave much to be desired, however. Still, this 2-disc set is a bargain. Fretwork is a masterful ensemble and all of the pieces are skillfully performed. You won't be disappointed by this pleasant listen.

My best baroque CD.......2004-08-29
Over the years from time to time I bought some CDs with baroque brass ensemble music, always hoping it would be so fascinating as what I knew from my fathers PJBE vynil records. What I bought so far all are nice but also somewhat boring after short time. Unfortunately I never bought something from the PJBE until now, and this is the first time that a complete CD (and in this case even two of them) of baroque music for brass is surprising and fascinating me with every 'song', showing facetes and diversity I always missed on my other records. Finally nothing is like the original PJ!
superbe.......2004-02-04
Après nous avoir fait plaisir avec le Greatest Hits, voici un double CD qui nous enchante avec les principales pièces de la Renaissance du sublime Philip Jones Brass Ensemble. Il y a longtemps que nous attendions la mise en CD de ces oeuvres, et nous voila comblé. Pour plusieurs pièces, c'est Elgar Howarth qui les a arrangé. Un grand moment de musique pour cuivres avec de grands compositeurs, délicieusement arrangées.
Pour éléver encore plus ces 2 cds, saluons encore la présence du London Festival Brass Ensemble dirigé par Elgar Howarth (dont la plus part des membres sont du PJBE), alors quoi de plus normal d'avoir inclu leur préstation.

About Spem in alium.......2006-09-04
This is specifically about Spem in Alium which is featured on this album.
While I am a great fan of classical music, this time period of music has never been one I have sought out. Then I bought this album at a thrift store two years ago and heard Spem in Alium for the first time. This piece and this performance changed my mind about middle age/early rennaisance music. This album has been in heavy rotation ever since on my stereo.
While I found all of Tallis' music on this album to be compelling, Spem in Alium is an exceptionally beautiful, intricate piece that if full of mystery (in the religious sense). The recording itself is wonderfully balanced sonically with excellent dynamics and depth (hugely difficult with the eight five-part choirs used). Listening to this with your eyes closed it is not difficult to feel that you are alone in a great English cathedral surrounded by choirs.
Having not heard the other versions of Spem in alium, I cannot honestly compare it to other performances. However, as an avid classical music listener, I can find nothing to fault here either in the music itself or in the quality of the recording which are both superb.
If like me you have avoided composers before Bach, then this music will be a great discovery. If you already know this piece, I think you will find this an extremely compelling and well recorded performance.

A must for any music fan.......2005-07-11
This CD is a wonderful recording and shows true and honest blues. As a member of the Music Maker Relief Organization based in Hillsborough North Carolina, John Dee Holeman is an unknown master of blues guitar, and has a unique and powerful singing voice. Born in NC in 1929, John Dee Holeman learnded directly from Blind Boy Fuller. He has won many awards, and this CD shows why. He is a great guitar player, and a passionate singer. Encorporating both Piedmont and Texas blues guitar styles John Dee Holeman is a truely unique artist. I highly reccommend this CD, and it should not be missed.
Mellow Back Porch Blues.......2000-02-10
They say don't judge a book by its cover, but I just couldn't resist the photo of John Dee Holeman with a big ol' grin on his face, a cigarette hanging fom his mouth and a National Steel Guitar in his hands. From the country blues, with some wonderful acoustic guitar and lyrics that'll bring a smile to your face. Beautiful renditions of blues classics (Robert Johnson's Sweet Home Chicago) are mixed in some of John Dee's own tunes. Taj Mahal makes a guest appearance, providing backing on some of the tracks. John Dee picks you up in his arms, takes you to the South and just doesn't let go. A rare treat indeed.

Very Pretty.......2006-10-12
Nice collection of very pretty songs of praise to the Almighty YHWH GOD and our Lord, Jesus Christ. Simple songs, beautifully displayed and sung.
It grows on you.......2005-04-25
I'd like to echo what Mr. Cole wrote 6 years ago: the apparent youth of the singers is a benefit. This CD grows on you. It has staying power, variety, honesty, vigor... and sopranos that excel. Listen to what offsetting effect they have against the young basses on track 2, Chesterfield. Or the seductive tracks 5 and 13.
The choir members are now pushing 50 years old. I would like to thank them for the pleasure and joyous renewal that they give so many years after these performances.
American and English Psalmody.......2003-01-24
The music of American psalmodists such as Billings and Belcher, while it does represent some of the great achievements of the psalmody tradition, is not the whole of this tradition. The fuging tune and related music (anthems etc.) stem originally from English psalmody (the "West Gallery tradition"), the works of men such as William Tans'ur and Aaron Williams. They, their music and the people who sang it in England, as in the US, were very much not of the elite: they were of "the folk", hence their folk music. Pieces by Tans'ur can be found, for those who are interested, in US psalmodies still in print, such as "Harmonia Sacra"
A good introduction to some little-known music.......1999-03-09
I first heard this recording on an old scratchy LP in a college course on American music. Like most people, I was ignorant of the existence of 'fuging tunes', which are an odd and uniquely American blend of baroque counterpoint and homespun harmonies. This extended polyphony is often tacked onto the end of the homophonic chorales or hymns which constitute the standard fare of modern American Protestant church services (and are often boring and bland by comparison, in my opinion). What was in Europe a past-time for the elite became music for the masses in the New World: These tunes were sung not by choirs but by congregations, and proliferated in folk tunebooks such as the 'Southern Harmony', which still survives today.
The performance by the Oregon State group is youthful and exuberant... Overall intonation and clarity are excellent, while vocal technique is somewhat unrefined (this is actually appropriate, given the origins of this music). If you've never experienced early American vocal music, you will be surprised and pleased with this recording.
