CD ReviewsVERY well done- doug | CA United States | 10/17/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Great CD. Searles has made a number of more new age heavy on the synthesizers cds-THIS one however, plays great music of the renaissance era-using acoustic instruments very warmly and unobtrusively filled in with synthesizer. You could use this for a renaissance party and not feel that it was inauthentic-truth is -alot of cds of this type of music played solely on traditional instruments have a harder edge.I like this one better..." Dance of the Renaissance Is a door to early music. Josh | MT | 12/07/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Dance of the Renaissance is a Masterpiece. One can listen to this heavenly collection of music repeatedly without ever becoming bored or tired of its tranquil notes. Richard Searles in my opinion has done the world a favor by preserving some of these ancient melodies. He opens a door to the listener, introducing a world of music that once existed in the courts of Kings and now can be played in your living room. So sit back, with a glass of wine, close your eyes, take yourself back to a time of art and culture; and let the sounds of Lutes, Dulcimers, Guitars, and Recorders penetrate your soul." Transcendentally beautiful Thomas D. Kehoe | Boulder, CO USA | 09/17/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I bought this CD about 10 years ago. It's easily one of the ten best CDs I've ever heard. It makes me imagine an Elizabethan wedding, with courtly dances, ladies in long dresses, gentlemen wearing swords, etc. I bought a video teaching Renaissance court dance because I wanted to be see the dances the music on this CD were for. But I wonder how historic is it? I've since bought other Renaissance music CDs, and was bored stiff. The other CDs lack the passion, the perfect clarity of this CD. If you time-traveled back 500 years would you hear musicians playing with the freshness of this CD? Or are Searles and Yslas putting in their own talent, and modern sensibilities, to make this music sound so good?"
