This was always a favorite of mine and the seller graded the record extremely honestly. It sounds fantastic.

I already own three cd's by this artist so it is a given that i would want this one, too. Very glad to find it on Amazon as it is not easy to find. It is already one of my favorites. The CD arrived in the condition that the seller promised, like knew. Not even a scratch on the case.

I'll admit I got this album because the title track is mentioned by name in Roger Zelazny's Prince of Chaos - but _wow_! Fantastic album!

I don't get it. Maybe I shouldn't have used this album as an introduction to John Renbourn. It's good, no doubt, and he is a very talented artist, but after many listenings nothing ever grabbed me, made me sit up and pay attention. I'm glad I bought a good used CD for not too much bucks. But I will occasionally put it in my rotation, I'm sure.

I always enjoyed my Sir John Alot album & Stonehenge is one of my favorite places.
This ranks as one of his best.

What can anyone say about John Renbourn? I was lucky enough to attend one of his master classes in the late 1980s (he was touring with Stefan Grossman). I hope he can continue to play for a very long time.

I have loved John Renbourn for years and this is definitely one of his best. I just wish it was longer!

I like "kickier" stuff

Very well-done but too reflective for me. I like "kickier" stuff. The guitar work is virtuosic.

Stunning album from Renbourn in 1985
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 13, 2015
The 1985 album form John Renbourn is The Nine Maidens. This is a stunningly brilliant album.
It is deeply rooted in the music and love of south west Britian.
It even features the ceremonial Padstow Obby Horse drum. But the album also features elements of celtic folk, baroque and classical as well as hints of jazz blues.
This fine instrumental album begins with a re working of a piece John had performed before, NewNothynge is a duet version of a solo tune called Lady Nothynge’s Toye Puff. Here, with the help of studio over dub John duets with himself. Track two is another re working of an old piece. This time The fish in the well is a reworking of The princess and the puddings. Remy Froissart helps out with this second guitar duet. Track three Pavan D Aragon is fabulous with its echos of the 16th Century.
Track four, Variations on my Lady Carey’s Dompe is a set of variations for recorder and guitar based on one of the earliest virginal pieces, from around 1525. This is the track that features the Padstow obby horse drum that is used on the May Day celebrations. John plays the drum and the guitar thanks to the studio over dubs and is joined by Toby Pedley on recorders.
Track five, circle dance is based on the Medieval dance tune. Track six is the stand out piece on the album. It is the title track The Nine Maidens, Named after the ancient stones The Nine Maidens that stand in Cornwall. There are three movements in this track. On this track Toby Pedley returns on recorders along with Ben Burrow on congas. Also Jules Diggle appears on tambourine
This is a most enjoyable album and is highly recommended to fans of John Renbourn.

Beautiful CD of timeless musical quality
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 12, 2019
I can't recommend this CD enough. I've always admired the playing of John Renbourn. I feel he's probably one of Britain's greatest ever acoustic guitarists. I confess to not having been a huge folk enthusiast over the years and there are many better qualified to discuss the merits of both the music and guitar playing in general, than myself.
However, this particular CD never fails to uplift - despite the music being rooted firmly in medieval styles of traditional folk, here and in John Renbourn's gifted hands, it acquires an almost transcendental quality. There's something both effortless and timeless in the sheer musicality on offer here and I can see it appealing to guitarists and non-guitarists alike.

The Nine Maidens: John Renbourn - 6 gorgeous tracks
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 1, 2013
This 1986 album is another landmark in the career of the exceptional John Renbourn. At times it almost seems like a career retrospective, mixing elements of folk (especially celtic rythms) with eastern influences, jazzy flourishes, early baroque stylings and the odd bluesy break.. It's a perfect synthesis of all his previous influences into one beautiful whole that shows that he has progressed as an artist, learnt new things, but never at the expense of the old things which he has never forgotten or stopped using in his work.
It's a sublime album of instrumentals, with Renbourn's guitar the real star of the show. His playing is amazing. It's a thing of beauty, 5 stars.
