This review is from: Of Kindly Lust & Love's Inspiring (Audio CD)

I actually picked up this album at the Folger Shakespeare library, the D.C. library/theater at which the Folger Consort is based. I listened to it and was immediately pleased. The instrumental pieces aren't quite my thing, but they're very well executed. The madrigals, though, which make up about half of the album, are just superb. My title really says it all--these recordings are sensitive, energetic, and really just excellent. Pick it up and enjoy.
