3.0 out of 5 stars Great Music, Great Price, But, um..., September 22, 1999

For those unfamiliar with too much classical music, this is an excellent buy - good pieces, good performances, with especially good vocal performances. But whoever named this album is hopefully out of a job. Early Music is held by most to be pre-Renaissance (or perhaps Renaissance) music. So why the inclusion of Bach? CPE Bach? And BARBER?! Take a pen, strike through the word "EARLY" and enjoy the CD.

My only problem with this cd is how quickly it moves from style to style, sometimes even cutting off before the end of a song! Just when I start to really get into it song (which is easy to do--there are some great ones on this cd) it ends, and a totally different style begins. But hey, for the price, I'm not really complaining. There are some cuts on this cd that by themselves would be worth the price!

If you looking for a good source on early music, then this does not fit the bill because of it's inclusion of relatively modern classical pieces. But if you are looking for a decent collection of classical music, then this is just fine. Barber's Adagio is beautifully played on this recording...
