5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Early Music, March 18, 2002

By	D. A Wend (Buffalo Grove, IL USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I heard a selection from this disc on the radio, and immediately decided to buy it. It is a wonderful mixture of songs, dances and instrumental pieces that provides us with an excellent overall picture of French music in the 16th century. Too often, early music discs contain music that sounds much the same and tends to be boring. Here, The King's Noyse, playing with great beauty and feeling, give us an outstanding program. Dances are separated by songs and solo harp and lute pieces. It is a joy to hear Ellen Hargis sing and the players are expressive; the recording is superb. The booklet in informative and contains translations of the songs.

If you have an interest in early music, I heartily recommend this disc.
