CD ReviewsAuthentic language as well as music Jeff Abell | Chicago, IL USA | 04/06/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Much is made of the intimate relationship between music and text in the work of Elizabethan composers. So performers have worked hard to re-create the authentic sounds of these songs, using counter-tenors and lutes to catch the sonorities. But few singers want to acknowledge that Elizabethan English was pronounced considerably differently than English is today. These performances are therefore revelatory. Hearing a song as familiar as Dowland's "If my complaints could passions move," rendered more like "Eef mine comb-plints coo'd pass-ee-ons moave" is both shocking and delightful. Les Witches and the singers here give lively, vivid accounts of these works, articulated with clarity, and recorded immaculately. A gorgeous package and production, too."
