The Renaissance Lute Review

This album now rates as my favorite from among the lute music offerings readily available from commericial sources in the US.Ronn MacFarlane plays enthusiastically and dynamically, and the great affinity he seems to have for the songs is readily transmitted through the recording.There is nothing monotonous here: each rendition sparkles.Here is an album you can listen to again and again, eagerly anticipating every listen.

Early Music Festival / David Munrow, Early Music Consort Review

The first disc in this collection is delightful.David Munrow's recorder is a genuine treat.The vocal parts blend well and create a festive atmosphere.The Early Music Consort of London offer a splendid performance.By contrast, the second disc, which features Musica Reservata, is a bit disappointing. Two of the solo voices on disc two are harsh, detracting from an otherwise pleasant recording.They may fairly represent the performing style of sixteenth century Florence, but that is small consolation for the twentieth century ear.Nonetheless, the virtues of the first disc are sufficient to warrant purchasing this collection.Munrow is magnificent.
