Amazon.com This attractive package comes with the sort of lustrous and vivid cover art reproductions Harmonia Mundi is known for, as well as a 69-page book of notes in four languages, complete with real binding. Musically, though, these studied historically correct performances are flat. They lack a sense of fun and daring. The dances are a bit pedestrian. And though there may be no way of positively historically verifying that these, mostly anonymous, 17th-century tunes were meant to elicit love, joy, and laughter, I'll put my money on the theory. --Gwendolyn Freed Similar CDs

CD ReviewsVocal and instrumental collection 12/04/1998 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Kings' Noyse glides you thru a courtly and elegant rendering of Elizabethan ballads and dance music. Joined by the exquisite lutenist Paul O'dette and soprano Ellen Hargis - whose lovely voice fits the genre quite well - this CD is pleasant and easy to listen to." The best of King's Noyse Marilia A. da Silveira | Porto Alegre, RS Brazil | 02/15/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have other CDs of King's Noyse, but I consider this the best of the consort. The 17th-Century English ballads and dances bring to us a kind of inner harmony. The musicians's performance is very exquisite. Tracks 1, 2, 3 and 7 are very joyful."
