Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent compilation
An excellent compilation of early church music performed beautifully by the Taverner Consort, Choir, and Players, and conducted by Andrew Parrott. The recording is clear and the sound well balanced. It is also an exceptional value - 30 tracts (2 1/2 hours of music) on 2 CDs for less that $10.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Beauty of God

I also recommend Andrew Parrot for anything predating Bach (*not ... Read More
