This is a refreshing sampler of the music of the Renaissance, played by a beautiful ensemble. I wish there were more double reed ensembles out there, but even if there were, I'm sure this group would stand out as one of the better groups. There is much nuance and good phrasing in their playing, not to mention that the repertoire is a lot of fun. There is a lot of variety in the album, from noble, grand French court music to lively English dances...from Italian and German counterpoint to sweet ... Read More

Very listenable, well-performed Renaissance overview.
Very enjoyable cd that I keep going back to over & over. Some discs of this sort begin to all sound similar, & a tad monotonous, but definately NOT this one. There are also very interesting notes with explanations about the dances & short bios on the many composers on this disc. Unusually well-recorded, as are many of the Dorian CDs.

There is something very special about this album -- and that such comes from Dorian should be no surprise.

The album's 40 tracks include works by such famous composers as Claudio Monteverdi, Samuel Scheidt, ... Read More

The New York Kammermusiker, a double reed ensemble, has put together a impressive and enjoyable collection of music from the mid-15th to the mid-17th centuries, covering most of the Renaissance period.
If one is already a devotee of Renaissance music, this collection should come as a welcome addition, if not, this CD is an excellent vehicle for making the acquaintance of some good early music.

If you like Renaissance music, you'll love this CD. Same goes for NY Kammermusiker's "A Baroque Celebration." They're two of my favorites. In fact, I logged on today to Amazon to see if NYK has other CD's out now. I'd buy them in a minute.
I listened to the first track's sample on Amazon and it gives you a good idea of the style of the music, though the sound quality on the sample is so poor that much of the vitality is lost.
