Hildegard von Bingen: Heavenly Revelations (2001) more music like this

performed by Carys-Anne Lane (vocals), Michael McCarthy (vocals), Oxford Camerata, Robert Evans (vocals), Sterence Rice (vocals)
composed by Hildegard of Bingen

Back in the '90s, Hildegard was hot -- you could almost put out anything with her name on it and it would sell. No doubt this is what Naxos had in mind when it commissioned Hildegard von Bingen: Heavenly Revelations from Jeremy Summerly's Oxford Camerata in 1993. This disc is interesting in that it generally avoids obvious Hildegard "hits" such as ...

Rembrandt: Music of His Time (2004) more music like this

performed by Accademia Strumentale Italiana, Verona, Aradia Baroque Ensemble, Carys-Anne Lane (soprano), David Miller (lute), Glen Wilson (harpsichord), Jacob Heringman (lute), James David Christie (organ), Knut Johannesen (organ), Laurence Cummings (harpsichord)
composed by Anthoni van Noordt, Girolamo Fantini, Heinrich Schütz, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Johann Jakob Lowe von Eisenach, Johann Rosenmüller, Louis Couperin, Michael Praetorius, Orlando Gibbons, Tobias Hume, William Lawes

With its Art and Music series, Naxos has come up with a classy looking way of recycling earlier items from its catalog. The discs in the series don't quite deliver what they promise, but this one does better than most. The title Rembrandt: Music of His Time is accurate as far as it goes; the art-historical essay on Rembrandt by Hugh Griffith is ...

composed by Herbert Howells

These two discs from the early '90s of Herbert Howells' choral music include everything he wrote either sacred or secular for chorus a cappella or with organ accompaniment. The works range from large-scale masterpieces like the Mass in the Dorian Mode and the Requiem through small-scale masterpieces like "The House of the Mind" and "Take Him, ...

Robin Milford: Fishing by Moonlight (2004) more music like this

performed by Carys-Anne Lane (soprano), Clare Finnimore (viola), Guildhall String Ensemble, Julian Milford (piano), Julian Sperry (flute)
composed by Robin Milford

Robin Milford's works may seem unfairly neglected and belatedly receiving their due, but this 2004 Hyperion disc may be of interest to fans of early twentieth century British music and few others. Milford's conservative style is a blend of the influences of Vaughan Williams and Holst, and his short pieces for string orchestra may also remind ...

composed by Henry Purcell, James (Jacques) Paisible, Thomas Morley, Thomas Tollett

When we last left Harry Christophers and his cracker jack a cappella chorus the Sixteen, they were making fabulous recordings for the wonderful Collins label. But that was back in the halcyon days of the CD boom, those far off times called the '90s, when everyone with a little capital and a lot of taste could start a record label. Back in the '90s ...

composed by Claudio Monteverdi

The group I Fagiolini ("The Green Beans") is British, not Italian, dating back to a student ensemble formed at Oxford University in the 1980s. The booklet notes ask straightforwardly why, with the profusion of spectacular Italian (and, they might have added, French) takes on Monteverdi's music over the last few years, an English contribution is ...

composed by William Byrd

There is no shortage of skilled British vocal groups performing the choral music of William Byrd, but this lovely disc of music drawn from the Gradualia collection of 1605 (it would have been composed probably over the previous decade, in the midst of Britain's political and religious turmoil) stands out even among strong competition. It's notable ...
