CD Reviews

More than two hours of beautiful 17th century 'ayres'
Monkeytown | Clearwater, FL | 08/02/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Two CDs, totaling more than 150 minutes of sparsely-arranged (never more than 3-5 instruments at a time), sweetly-sung, 350 year old 'ayres' (a typically English form of secular music). Nancy Argenta's soprano voice is lovely, silvery indeed as her name implies. The instruments are a discreet but friendly accompaniment to her solo voice. Perhaps the instruments are a little too discreet -- there are times when I wish they were a touch more prominent. But that is a very, very minor complaint. A beautiful collection, and quite well worth the money."
PERFECT!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"There is only a word with which I can describe this set of discs: perfect!

The only flaw there is, is not related to the singing or playing: no text enclosed."
Nice Collection

"I have many collections of Purcell's Music. This collection stands up to them at half the price. Solid buy."
