4.0 out of 5 stars The Cardinall's Musick continues the Byrd Edition, 21 Sep 2000
By A Customer
The Cardinall's Musick under Andrew Carwood - after successes with recordings of sacred music by Fayrfax and Ludford - has recently embarked on the grand task of recording the complete choral works of William Byrd (1535/40?-1623). This CD, the fourth in the Byrd Edition, includes the 'Cantiones Sacrae' of 1575 which were written when Byrd was still young. Although his style had not developed to the extent which it would later, the pieces are exciting, especially for their time. This is reflected in the recording, under both the keen directer Andrew Carwood, and the historical advisor David Skinner. Skinner is an expert in the field of early music and has written the cover notes as well as producing a new edition of Byrd's works for the Cardinall's Musick.

The standard of the recording is excellent, which is due in a large part to the effective blending of the voices and the clear enunciation of the text (which is all the more important since the 'Cantiones' are in Latin).

Unlike many of his contemporaries, Byrd had a great awareness of his texts in his compositions, often employing word-painting techniques to emphasise meaning; this is reflected in the recording as Carwood and his choir show much sensitivity to conveying the understanding and the spirit of the texts.

Carwood - in assessing the interpretation of the motets - is also aware of the time in which they were written. They can all be described as Catholic in orientation, even though the Anglican Church had been established for more than forty years. Therefore the works were prohibited in their time, unusable in public worship (only in the private chapels of nobles); the Cardinall's Musick has captured their essence of sadness at the persecution of the Roman Catholics. This is reinforced by some of the texts, such as 'Da mihi auxilium' ('Give me help in my trouble') and 'Libera me, Domine, et pone me' ('Deliver me, Lord, and set me at your side').

The Byrd Edition - by the evidence of the previous three volumes - promises to be a seminal edition of the composer's corpus on CD. After an enthusiastic start, it would be very easy for the Cardinall's Musick to lose the zeal needed for such a great undertaking; however the fourth CD is clear crisp and fresh. Although this volume would be of interest to anyone with a love of early music, it is far more important to collectors and students of Byrd's music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fine music sung by a remarkable ensemble, 1 Jun 2006
By William Burn "gingerburn" (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The Cardinall's Musick's Byrd Edition is one of the great recording projects of modern music-making, and we are extremely lucky that such a fine ensemble should take such time and care in presenting the music of one of England's great composers, William Byrd. This is the fourth edition in the series, and comprises motets from the 1575 Cantiones Sacrae collection. Amongst these are the wonderful Emendemus in melius (a motet for Ash Wednesday), the expressive Aspice, Domine quia facta est and the charming hymn setting of Siderum Rector.

The singing on this disc is of the highest quality, and achieves a near-perfect balance between the soloistic expression of each individual line with tightly controlled ensemble singing. As ever, David Skinner's liner notes are detailed and provide a range of points to consider in how modern ensembles choose to perform music such as this, which is removed from us by so great a period of time. Most fascinating, however, must be the facsimile of a page from the part-book of Diliges Dominum, which demonstrates Byrd's quite stupendous compositional skill (I will not attempt to explain the trick here, except to say it ranks alongside Bach's fugue writing in terms of technical prowess).

Above all, though, this disc presents music which gives pleasure in listening that simply does not fade. I have owned this cd for some five years now, and enjoy it as much now as when first it came into my hands. I hope you will find the same when you listen to it.
