This review is from: Best of Millennium of Music Volume 1: Music for the 1000 Years before the Birth of Bach (Robert Aubry Davis Presents) (Audio CD)

This CD contains some of the most beatiful hymns, motets, etc. ever written before the birth of Bach. I have enjoyed listening to Mr. Davis on National Public Radio for a number of years now, and he clearly hand-picked some of the best and most seductive pieces from his library. Granted, not every classical music lover enjoys feasting on music that was written 400 years ago, but if you tired of the usual Haydn & Beethoven entrees, this CD is sure to wet your palate.
