"O`Dette! The lutanist that would become popular in Dowlands time! he seems to me like a Leonhardt on lute.I find the lute no less expressive and enchanting than harpsichord or piano when I listen to Mr O`Dette"
A fantastic sampler!

"The cd is a sampler of O'Dette's recordings with the label Harmonia Mundi ranging from solo lute pieces to vocal ensembles. However, the mixture of the 22 tracks over 72 minutes becomes a fantastic musical and emotional journey. I quickly became attached to the album. Fantastic! This music and the performances of O'Dette have taken on a life of their own. It is a beautiful album that I would highly recommend to anybody that has a love for the lute as well as the music of the 15th-17th centuries. It is an album you will keep and play forever and ever."
Fine examples of Paul O'Dette's talents and a wonderfully en

"Until recently I knew of Paul O'Dette only as a member of Andrew Lawrence-King's Harp Consort with a reputation of being arguably the world's finest lutenist. This recording demonstrates that whoever made the claim had good cause. The performances from supporting musicians and singers match O'Dette's stylish playing in a very well-planned programme that can hardly fail to delight discerning music lovers."
