This three-CD set from Harmonia Mundi purports on the packaging to offer "the finest masses in musical history." Of course that's an impossible goal, and the liner notes back off from it with various disclaimers. The question to ask about a set like this, assembled from existing Harmonia Mundi releases going back to 1986, is whether it either ...

composed by Adrian Le Roy, Claudin de Sermisy, Clément Janequin, Francesco Canova da Milano

Of course, composers during the early Renaissance period wrote profane music. With the rediscovery of the beauties of the pagan past paid for by princes with deep pockets, what else could they compose? Ethereal masses and motets were so late Medieval. Besides, Europeans had rediscovered more than merely the beauties of the pagan past; they had ...

The Siena Lute Book is the best manuscript source of fifteenth century Italian lute music in existence, and it is kept in the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague. Its creamy white and carefully copied pages yield more than seven score lute compositions, compiled in the last decade of the fifteenth century but belonging to a time about 40 years before. On ...

It's odd, inasmuch as Renaissance music is unfamiliar even to many listeners enthusiastic about classical music in general, but single-disc introductions to Renaissance music have been rare. This Analekta-label release presumes no knowledge at all, offering single-page overviews not only of what the Renaissance is but also of the notion of ...

As with the other discs of vocal music in Harmonia Mundi's Century: A History of Music series, it's a shame that this one includes no song texts. For the newcomer, at whom such a series is presumably aimed, there's no better anchor than knowing what the performers are singing about. But for that, this disc offers a nearly ideal introduction to the ...

The quintessentially English a cappella group the King's Singers have recorded prolifically and are approaching a catalog landmark of 100 album releases. Three box sets of five albums apiece are on the market, all with titles suggesting that they represent best-of selections from among the group's repertoire. In no case is this so; all the boxes ...
