5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent re-release, 13 Jul 2008
By Sid Nuncius "Sid Nuncius" (London England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This is another of Virgin Classics' really good re-releases of classic recordings. The music here is from 16th and early 17th Century England and Spain, beautifully performed by Fretwork - one of the very finest modern viol consorts - with the outstanding Michael Chance and other instrumental stars of this repertoire. It is fantastic music with great charm and variety, from Byrd's moving lament for the death of Sydney to lively dances. At this price you simply can't go wrong if you're the slightest bit interested in music of this period. It's a really first-class collection in unsurpassed performances and is very warmly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic value, superb music!, 17 Jul 2008
I agree wholeheartedly with the previous reviewer's comments - this is a wonderful double CD (at a fantastic price!), with superb music from the courts of England and Spain during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, skilfully performed by Fretwork! If you appreciate early music it needs to be in your collection!
