CD Reviews

The best of the 4 I recently bought
Thomas B. Gross | Winchester, MA USA | 04/27/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"For some reason I recently decided to buy a variety of Early Music CDs from Amazon. I purchased four, including this one, enough to spend $25 for free shipping. Of the four (the others being 'Praetorius: Dances from Terpsichore', 'Music of the Troubadours', and 'Music of the Crusades'), this is my favorite.



I particularly like the song whose title is translated on this page as 'Be sure to drink in moderation' - I don't know enough contemporary Dutch to know if learning to sing this as recorded on this CD would be comprehensible to native speakers of Dutch today, but I certainly hope so, because it would make a terrific ice breaker at parties in Holland.



As for the music, it's hard to imagine that a gaggle of trained geese would sound as good as these Crumhorns. This album really rocks."
Almost ditched it !

"Yup. Clearing out my collection of CDs I don't listen to much and this one popped out. Then I gave it another listen and decided that I'd nearly made a very bad mistake. This album is quite remarkable. The vocals are fine, but the instrumentals is where this really shines. The variety of instruments covers the gamut from double reeds (loud and soft), recorders, cornetts, sackbutts, bowed and plucked strings and tasteful, clever percussion... more I'm sure, but you get the idea. There are some very unexpected little tricks as the selections segue from one to an other as well as clever, unexpected solos. It is clear that the group are not just playing music, but that they are playing with it and having a good time. The articulation on some of the pieces is remarkable and I find myself listening to new life breathed into the usual chestnuts from Susato and company. The obligatory Hoboeken tanz is there, but it sounds unlike other performances.



Buy, listen, enjoy. You will not be disappointed."
