Music reviews of Madrigal Masterpieces
Music Review: Quality at any Age
Rating: 5 Stars
My personal favorites are tracks 1,4 and 5. Note that this recording was originally made in the early 1960s, but the quality of the recording and arrangements are absolutly superior. The all male voices of some recordings(ie. King's Singers) are more acurate for the period; however, the soprano in this CD is the best I have ever heard at interpreting the french madrigal style. After hearing this group, you'll wonder why the singing groups at ren-fairs don't sound this good.
