CD Reviews

An invigorating survey two centuries of early English music.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Delightful. The consort is quite polished, and is ably supported by Timothy Roberts. The program is varied, and interspersed with some very engaging keyboard pieces. Recommended for those prepared to venture down the road less travelled."

Pomp and Glory

"I adore this cd, it is one of my favorites. When you listen to this you can actually see a huge hall filled with richly dressed men and woman dancing. You can see their jewelry glisten ,see the hundreds of flickering candles, the tables laid with food, servants running to and fro, a band playing. This cd is a time portal!"

Wonderful Pomp and Circumstance!

"If you are looking for a CD to enovke a feeling of Queen Elizabeth I through Charles II (Restoration), this CD is for you. You can envision the court, courtesans, feasts, ceremony and overall feeling. Listen to it with a goo dpot of Earl Grey tea and close your eyes....you will be whisked away to the majesty of the English Throne!"
