CD Reviews

Top Counter Tenor Master

Peter W. Dent | Queensland, Australia | 11/10/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Alfred Deller presents a masterly classic of the Songs from Shakespeare.

Recorded in 1970, this work cannot be surpassed. Well worth adding to any collection."

Shakespeare Songs...

D. S. HARDEN | L.A.,CA USA | 01/17/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Overall, a good collection of songs that add 'flavour' to some of the works of the Immortal Bard (That's Shakespeare, to those of you among the un-initiated!). I would also recommend, "Shakespears's Music" or "Elizabeth's Music" for a good mix of Medieval/Renaissance music. My rating for this collect: 4 stars!"

Elizabethan Idol

Marcus Aurelius | PA USA | 04/04/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"A beautifully recorded selection of material from Shakespeare's plays plus some other contemporary pieces that would have worked the room if that room were The Globe. Deller has a pure counter-tenor, and there is Desmond Dupre shredding the lute."
