I chose five stars because once I had got this album, I was captivated by the music and the quality of the playing. In particular, the Allemande and Tripla from Scheins's suite number 4 immediately took me back to the early 80s when I heard a recording of this being played in the distance, and the music was instantly memorized. It was a wonderful re-discovery for me! I already knew and liked some of Schein's music, and had no idea that he was the composer of this piece. The recordings have made me want to search out more music by Schein, Erasmus Widman, and others of the same period.

Don't be put off by the Baroque picture on the cover, this is a geat collection of early modern music. The collection ranges from popular country dances to courtly music of varying tempos. Some of the tunes, such as 'Greensleeves and Pudding Pyes' are variations on well known themes but most are lesser known pieces. Overall there is a nice range of different types of early modern dance music in a good quality recording.

Archiv 198 166 (in the grey fold over cover - MGM distributed) ; Archive 73153 (yellow jacket with index card - American Decca distributed);later pressings in laminated fold-open jackets with color illustration on cover and retaining 198 166 number).
One of the best recordings of Renaissance dances ever published - don't hesitate to purchase this disc. The original vinyl contents have been filled out with some other, later Archiv dance recordings to increase the playing time. The original 1959/60 Collegium Terpsichore recordings are all here. Buy it, you won't regret it!

After lovingly storing my vinyl copy of this fine recording for decades, I had been waiting and waiting for it to be issued as a CD to be played on modern equipment, and it has finally happened! The production values of this old collection of music are remarkably high, and will be greatly enjoyed by anyone who enjoys music from this period.

Nice release, but slightly confusing

This CD pairs the Collegium Terpsichore's famous 1960 recordings of music by Praetorius, Widmann, and Schein with other Renaissance dances of more recent recorded vintage. It's a good choice for anybody seeking to replace a copy of DG Archiv LP 73153. The sound quality of the 1960 performances is similar to that on the LP, which already sounded great, although the recorded level on the CD is higher than on the LP (or so an A-B comparison suggested). There is one thing to look out for with this CD, however. Initially it confused the heck out of me. For some reason, the printed content listing attributes the six Dances from Terpsichore, by Michael Praetorius (Entrée-Courante; Gavotte; Spagnoletta; La Bourée; Ballet; Volte), to that well-known composer named "Anonymous"! I know there have been huge advances in musical research since 73153 was issued in the early 1960s, but I suspect that Praetorius's authorship of the six dances in question is well settled.
