5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful, playful and tuneful, November 2, 2009
By 
I have owned this cd since the mid 80's, and return to it again and again. It is charming and bright, and my children, when they were young, would love to dance when I put this on. Often this music is presented in a very dry and academic manner: it is refreshing to hear it played with such a great sense of fun: you can imagine a true "Renaissance Revel". I especially found the anonymous French dances infectiously happy. It is simple music making, and the sounds of some of the instruments may be a bit unfamiliar, and to some, a bit raucous, but done with great skill and verve. Listen to the samples: if you like them, you'll love the whole disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Harpsichord music at its finext, October 23, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Calliope Dances: A Renaissance Revel (Audio CD)
I owned this recording "way back" when it was on vinyl and it was always one of my favorites. I was delighted to find it on CD after I sold my turntable and all my LPs. If you like harpsichord music, you will really enjoy this recording.

3.0 out of 5 stars Overall a strong Very Good CD, January 15, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Calliope Dances: A Renaissance Revel (Audio CD)
A very good CD for Renaissance type music, but not an excellent one. If you have tons of this sort of music already, then buy this one for something a bit different.
