5.0 out of 5 stars BROKEN CONSORT, 28 Jan 2004

By	DAVID BRYSON (Glossop Derbyshire England) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This is a simply adorable record. A 'broken consort' is a group of instruments of different types, which would, I suppose, make four of the Brandenburg concertos broken consorts. Where the various composers have not been specific as regards the instruments to be used (in most cases here), Christopher Ball and his colleagues have used their imagination to great effect. They are helped by an admirably clear recording, and it is hard to imagine who is not going to like the sound of the bass cornamuse, crumhorns, kortholts, ducaine and octavina. If there is one sound that particularly pleased me it was probably the percussion section, but the entire ensemble is brilliant.

It's easy to imagine a number of contexts for this record. Just as straight listening it is delightful. It would make good background music for general purposes, and I happen to know that it can be particularly effective at certain stages of a party, although care is advised about when to play Holborne's 'Wanton'. I like the fact that the selection is made from an international field of late-16th and early-17th century composers, and one gets the impression that this was a period of history when music was in a joyful and extrovert phase throughout Europe. What the scholars make of it I don't know, not having asked them. The instruments are patently made by experts and played by experts, the performers' enjoyment is infectious, and until I find out more about the whole period that will do me very well indeed. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, 16 May 2009

By	Mr. Jason D. Ward (uk) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I agree with the previous reviewer, and want to endorse everyhting they say.
The recording is excellent, and the instruments and playing simply brilliant. My little children love the chirpiness of it all, my mother loved it for its musical content and I love it for the diverse instruments that simply evoke an earlier age.

I suspect that if you love Baroque played on Baroque instruments, you are going to love this CD. I was hoping to find more, it was that good. It also makes my new studio speakers show off their stuff.
