Nice Collection.......2007-03-05

I have many collections of Purcell's Music. This collection stands up to them at half the price. Solid buy.

PERFECT!.......2006-10-26

There is only a word with which I can describe this set of discs: perfect!
The only flaw there is, is not related to the singing or playing: no text enclosed.

Great singing and excellent value for money.......2004-09-19

This is probably one of the best anthologies of Purcell songs around, and not just because it's two-for-one pricing means it contains twice as much music (CD1:74'24" & CD2: 77'41")! Nancy Argenta has an irrepressible sense of style and crystal clear diction. But unlike Emma Kirby, whose vocal purity can become tiresome, these renditions radiate warmth. She is also, I have found, more consistently involving than any one of the singers in Hyperion's three disc survey of Complete Secular Songs (recently reissued as a single set). One marvels at how she judiciously balances restraint and emotional forthrightness. The accompaniments (archlute, viola da gamba, harpsichord, and organ) are well judged and blend with the voice, all helped by an excellently defined recording acoustic. This is an absolute winner at any price!

More than two hours of beautiful 17th century 'ayres'.......2001-08-02

Two CDs, totaling more than 150 minutes of sparsely-arranged (never more than 3-5 instruments at a time), sweetly-sung, 350 year old 'ayres' (a typically English form of secular music). Nancy Argenta's soprano voice is lovely, silvery indeed as her name implies. The instruments are a discreet but friendly accompaniment to her solo voice. Perhaps the instruments are a little too discreet -- there are times when I wish they were a touch more prominent. But that is a very, very minor complaint. A beautiful collection, and quite well worth the money.

Rare Jem - This from a rock enthusiast!.......2004-01-24

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If you enjoy classic rock, you already appreciate the finer songs from the Stones, Beatles, Skynyrd, Doors, Fleetwood Mac, Floyd, Elton, Doobies, CCR, Guess Who, Moody Blues, and the Who, among others - so why consider an album in the bizarre realm of Enya and Yanni?

Well, I'll tell you ... In this album, Leroy Quintana and Paul Speer have laid down atmospheric tracks (much deeper than Musac or elevator music). These tunes are so subtle, so polished, so enjoyable, that it will blow your mind. The compositions are simply superb and the recording itself is as clean as anything you're likely to find. Alan Parsons, George Martin, and Phil Spector have nothing on those that produced "SHADES of SHADOW."

So, get this CD (even if you can't find it new), lower the lights, lie back in your most comfortable chair with you best headset, and enjoy the ride. You'll be glad you did.

Musical, Nuanced Classic (with a groove).......2003-02-14

Pure instrumental heaven. Good recording. Synths dominate, with guitar, bass, sax, and percussion. A typical track has the synths speading beautifully over the musical space, an interesting, dynamic bass line moving throughout, tasteful percussive highlights, and Spanish guitar on the melody line, all combining for an airy, ambient, peaceful feel. I enjoy everything from jazz to heavy metal, and this is one of my ten favorite albums of all time. It's one of the few albums I enjoy listening to anytime in any setting. Crafted carefully and performed artfully: a truly *musical* work. It's a classic.

"Waiting for the "Next Cut".......2001-12-26

Leroy Qunitanna; Has been out of the studio "More" than in it. This is a shame!! The talent this CD shows is of a "Budding Artist;" Who includes his Heart And Soul into his sound. "Mellow" to say the least. Rated right up there with Enigma's; "Cross of Changes" Mr. Quintanna's Talent has only been tipped. His feel for his music moves the soul and the mind to various places with it's relaxing melodys. Smooth as silk, well written and outstanding!!
It has been rumored that "Yet another" Mega CD is to be released soon. Last I heard, he was reteaming up with; Paul Speer as the two had worked together on "Shades of Shadows".....Mira Mar Productions; Is not totally in Grasp with what the public wants when it comes to the ovious "Talent" of both these Artists." Come on Boys Where's the second release?" I have been listening to Shades of Shadows since 1995 and have yet to grow tired of this outstanding Artistical Work. Mr. Qunitanna hails from my same home town. Modesto California, USA An stands right up there with another "giant from here;"... "George Lucas". Although I have never met Mr. Quintanna or Mr. Lucas. They are two "Greats" in the industrie....Come on "Mira Mar Productions;" "Where's the Second Cut from "Leroy Quintanna and Paul Speer".....shurley; Your not going to let these two slip out of your hands "again".
"Where is the NEXT cut? It's been now too long of a wait!! Already

Mad @ myself.......2001-11-18

Lost the tape and I have been looking for this cd for the longest of time, now I will be very happy when they delivery it to my door. You'll love it too.

This is music to relax to........1999-04-06

I absolutely love this CD. It is very soothing and easy to listen to. If you don't like New Age or Jazz, I encourage you to try this album. It would be popular music if it had vocals. Incredible, that's all I can say.

May be High Point of English Song.......2007-06-04

Whenever I listen to any renditions of English art songs, going from Elizabethan times to the modern, as by Percy Grainger, I always dispair at how uninteresting they are when compared to the great German, French, and Italian art song repetoires. It seems as if the English can never quite wrest their genre from its folk roots and become a 'classic' music realization. I cringe at the Shakspearean 'hey nonny nonnies' and the 19th century compositions, none of which are as good even as Stephen Foster at his best.

But here is Purcell, and I believe I've found an author of English song I can really enjoy. To be sure, he has not entirely kicked the straw from all of the lyrics, but out of this 74 minutes of performance, I can easily listen to it many times over. And, as it stands at the moment, the prices for these CD's are a real bargain, if you like English song.

A dream long 40 years.......2001-03-02

I am a old fan (55 years old) of this boys, and I excuse for my bad english. From 1960 at today I need always to listen they sound, never tired. Shadows sound is strong, clear, charming. The boys changes they musics, they lirics, but never they sound unmistakable, they way to make and to play music. In Italy is very difficult to have they records or cd: but I have all vinil records I had find!....(to be continued)
