composed by Cuthbert Hely, Henry Lawes, René Saman, William Lawes

It has taken a surprisingly long time for Hyperion, an English label distinguished in the area of Baroque music, to get to the music of brothers William and Henry Lawes. It forms an indispensable part of the literature that we have from the reign of Charles I, which is typically presented as a period in which the common Englishman lived in ...

With this disc, the Orlando Consort follows the direction laid down by its successful Food, Wine & Song release of a few years back -- and the group outdoes itself. The Rose, the Lily & the Whortleberry takes as its musical point of departure the idea of the garden, which was central to the expressive culture of both the Middle Ages and the ...

composed by Benjamin Britten, Charles Villiers Stanford, Herbert Howells, Jean Langlais, Jonathan Harvey, Kenneth Leighton, Michael Tippett, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Richard Dering, Walter Alcock

The aim of this program is simple, but it's one that is not often attempted, at Westminster Abbey or anywhere else.

composed by Claudio Monteverdi

It hasn't been too long a time ago when it was a frustrating business trying to find a good recording of Claudio Monteverdi's signature masterwork Vespro della Beata Vergene, arguably the most ambitious entrance examination ever fulfilled in the history of music. In the old days of LPs, one in search of some measure of transparency in this work ...

composed by Antonio Vivaldi, Giovanni Maria Ruggieri

Robert King may have planned to end his series of recordings of the sacred music of Vivaldi with his grandest and most popular piece of sacred music, the Gloria, RV 589, but he couldn't have planned to end it with Vivaldi's Nisi Dominus, RV 803, because when the series began, the Nisi Dominus had not yet been found hidden among the Galuppi sacred ...

composed by Anonymous, Codex Chantilly, Guillaume de Machaut, Solage

Gothic Voices is a durable British ensemble that has performed medieval secular music mostly in vocal a cappella style. You may or may not like that approach, but if you'd like to give it a try, this disc contains repertory in which unaccompanied singing works well. The group sings some of the fixed-form chansons of Machaut -- and not the usual ...

composed by Claudio Monteverdi

After almost 400 years, you might think Monteverdi's L'Orfeo would have lost its luster. But in the right hands it can still be deeply exciting, allowing you to relive the birth of an electric and emotionally charged new art form. Emmanuelle Haïm's new L'Orfeo, starring Ian Bostridge, is that kind of experience. It combines truly electric ...

composed by Claudio Monteverdi

Although it doesn't say so on the cover, this recording of Monteverdi's Vespers is the fifth volume in Robert King and his King's Consort's survey of the complete sacred music of Monteverdi. This bears mentioning because anyone who likes this recording of the Vespers may be interested in hearing the earlier and later volumes in King's collection - ...

Who could not like this lovable recording of The Great Service by William Byrd?
