5.0 out of 5 stars
they've surpassed themselves again!, 7 Aug 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cabezón: Tientos y Glosados (Audio CD)
The ensemble on this CD -- variously known as Accentus, Unicorn, and Oni Wytars -- is easily the most formidable medieval-renaissance instrumental ensemble in existence. I'm not just a rabid fan who's never listened to anybody else: I have methodically surveyed hundreds of early music CDs before arriving at this conclusion. If you haven't heard their name trumpeted by early music critics, it's probably because said critics are desiccated scholars instead of impassioned musicians (like most of the performers they critique). Accentus's main concern is the emotive capabilities of their instruments, and the four core members (Michael Posch, Marco Ambrosini, Riccardo Delfino, Thomas Wimmer; they're not listed in the notes for this release) are among the very few truly brilliant early music players. The heavy polyphony of Cabezon cramps their style a bit, but their phenomenal spirit shines through track after track. Many of their performance decisions on other albums are odd or less-than-historical; luckily for purists, though, "Tientos y Glosados" is straight and unmannered. It's the best of both worlds.

WOW, 1 Dec 2002
By R. Rockwell - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cabezón: Tientos y Glosados (Audio CD)
Unlike he previous reviewer, I have no wide experience in Early Music. I am tasting it for the first time. I never would have heard of Cabezon had not his organ music been recommended by Classical Net. This CD does not contain any organ music. Naxos does offer 4 organ works by Cabezon on Early Iberian Organ Music. Despite my surprise at the lack of organ music, I must say that I was not disappointed!! In fact I played the program again, immediately; I was in awe of the elgant beaty. The notes to the CD provide a neophyte a proper introduction to the composer and his times. It argues that as composer favored by the royal court may have arranged his keyboard works into chamber pieces that employed the instuments of the time. Even though he lived alost 100 years before Bach, I was most reminded of Bach's Brandenberg concertos when listening. This CD will take a permanent part in my collection. Thanks to Naxos for providing a way to experience music that I might have never heard at prices that won't challenge my limited financial means. At any price though this CD would be a must have.

Who is the harpsichordist?, 23 Mar 2006
By Max Schmeder - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cabezón: Tientos y Glosados (Audio CD)
The harpsichordist is amazing. Who is this "anonymous master"? Please post the answer here if you know. Cabezon tientos are rarely so vivid. If you like this recording, you will probably enjoy the Cabezon compilation in a similar vein by Trio "Unda Maris." (La ma de guido: LMG2014J)
