5.0 out of 5 stars
An enchanting and refreshing delight,
By Keith E Brenneman (Saskatoon, SK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lully - Ballet Music for the Sun King / Mary Enid Haines · Aradia Baroque Ensemble · Kevin Mallon (Audio CD)
This music is so uplifting --- it seduces the listener to enter another world. Both sopranos, Haines and Nafziger, are wonderful. But Nafziger, without a doubt, is essentially the highlight of this CD. Her voice soars to ethereal heights with stately conviction, all the while conveying such warmth, comfort and passion. This is a great young talent that will one day command international attention. The Aradia ensemble should be congratulated for presenting such music with absolute precision and a depth of character. Bravo!

This review is from: Lully - Ballet Music for the Sun King / Mary Enid Haines · Aradia Baroque Ensemble · Kevin Mallon (Audio CD)
This isn't the most dramatic of discs, but it's very relaxing, bathing the listener in a smooth, gentle sound that to me feels like it could be devotional religeous music. (That it isn't only adds to my own enjoyment.) It doesn't grab attention but rather sneaks up on the conciousness, while some of the playful melodies stick in the mind without the listener being aware of where they have heard them.
I bought this disc because I wanted to hear some Lully, and this was a cheaper Naxos disc, but I want to hear some more now that I have experieced the delight of this composer.

I thought it was great!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lully - Ballet Music for the Sun King / Mary Enid Haines · Aradia Baroque Ensemble · Kevin Mallon (Audio CD)
I really liked this CD! It sounded light and airy and very "original baroque." I find it's a wonderful thing to listen to when you're cleaning up the house because it sounds great in the background too. Most of the ballet excerps are light and have a good beat. The only thing I didn't like is that they played the kazoo on one peice; it was funny once, but then I thought it was a little inapropriate. I wanted to hear the music. Anyway, great CD, Aradia!
