CD Reviews

I wasn't a big fan of Byrd...

Matt F. Henry | 01/16/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"But this album convinced me otherwise. This is beautiful in so many ways, from the music itself to the harpsichord to the tuning to the recording. It's not tinny, not flat or dull, but in between; it's warm mellow, and so sweetly in tune. This is a must for period instrument collections."
