I could not have asked for a better combination
3 Jun 2002
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you can only own one album of Renaissance music, this should be it.
Dance music of the Renaissance has been a particular passion of mine for nearly 30 years, both as a listener (I own many, many recordings) and performer (both as musician and dancer). And yet, if I selected my favorites from every album and combined them into one, it would still not be better than this one.
Not only do they select the best pieces, but each one is played beautifully. And that's saying a lot, because most music of this period was written without any orchestration notes and therefore is open to wide variations of interpretation today. So the same piece can be boring or exciting, soothing or irritating, good or bad, depending upon its interpretation. I'm delighted to say that this album has the best renditions possible.
My heart sings with every piece.

even for original instrument crowd, this is just perfect
6 Dec 2002
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Even the most fanatical "original instrument purist" should give this one a listen. Though apparently played on modern instruments, these are nearly perfect performances in every way. Warm, appealing charm that captures the real spirit of these optimistic pieces from the Renaissance. I have modern & "period" performances of the Renaissance "Terpishore" dances which open the first disc, and some are quite good. However, this collection outshines all the others. Also bravo to DG for the great remastering. For example, any trace of noise seems to have dropped away completely leaving clean, enthusiastic performance. These musicians clearly honor Musicality above anything.

Wonderful reissue from early days of early music recordings
27 Jan 2004
Format:Audio CD
This cd is a reissue of material from several albums in the 60s. The Fritz Neumeyer recordings of Praetorius are from an old Archiv LP that was one of my first introductions to "early music", and it can be charged that it was more enthusiastic than historically informed. A recorder consort will take up one section of a tune, and then a group of viols will swirl in, maybe followed by crumhorns playing another brief phrase, and then a solo harpsichord finishing off the tune. Different instruments provide a variety of textures of sound, keeping things interesting even though most of the tunes are played fairly "straight", without a lot of improvisation. There's been quite a bit of research and rediscovery of Renaissance techniques since this record was first out, and I appreciate those, but these old recordings really get my toe tapping and remind me why I fell in love with early music in the first place.
