5 out of 5 stars nice assortment.......2007-03-13

I enjoy historical music, and this cd was a good assortment of songs. I was expecting all bouncy country dances, but some tracks sound more complex and serious. I'm no expert on country dances, so I don't know if the selections are representative, but I enjoy the entire album. Perfect for an afternoon of relaxing with some good music and it won't put you to sleep.

5 out of 5 stars aka "apollo's Banquet" watch out!.......2006-10-05

I can say that this was a surprise, and it's my fault for not checking the contents track by track. This is a re-issue of Apollo's banquet, and also a re-issue of the same from yet another name! I've had Apollo'w banquet for a long time. Somehow, I thought this CD would be mixed consort English music. Not so, it's mostly violin + cittern/ continuo.

Under the name "apollo's banquet" it's been a favorite of mine for years- very good division violin work, very nice improv too. This is top notch.

Nevertheless, beware! $6 for this disk is a real bargain- but it's still too pricey if you've already got it on your shelf! It seems this series is a fabulous value- I have the Italian renaissance dan ces vol 2 too, and it is also superb performace practice.

This series is a great way to buy excellent performances on the cheap- just watch out in case you already have it!

1 out of 5 stars You may not want this if . . . ........2006-03-26

Personally, I found the music a bit slow and subdued. Not what one typically thinks of country dance music being like. However, the reason I rate it so low is because of the deception on the part of the producer/manufacturer/packager/whatever of this cd. This CD is actually the same - track for track, down to the timings - as "English Country Dances from Playford's Dancing Master". But this CD is deceptively attributed to the individual members of the band instead of naming the group, The Broadside Band. It is cheaper than the original cd, though. The short and sweet - if you have the Broadside Band cd, you don't want this one.

5 out of 5 stars Delightful Music-making!.......2005-08-27

These selections of English Country Dances from the publications of the English music publisher John Playford are recorded and played so well as to relegate any criticism to spoiled grapes. Perhaps a musicologist might carp on some fine points, but then again probably not - musicologists actually enjoy a good tune, too. There is a nice couple pages of notes by Jack Ashworth on the historical background of the music, and a further short page by David Douglass on how he envisioned the 'nature' of several of the pieces. There is also a French translation following the English notes. Seven instruments are mixed higgledy-piggledy as the performers deem best - a copy of a 1652 Amati Violin, and copies of a Theorbo, a Cittern, a 16-string harp, an Italian Double Harp, an Irish Harp, and a Guitar. For the curious Douglass plays the violin only, but offers playing consanguineous with his name.
Among the choices cut 15 - "Long Cold Nights" - seems almost New Age in its evocation of the heavens: one might be in Big Sur looking up at the stars. The many other pieces come in divers moods and tempi, with great care given to which instruments are employed. It's difficult to imagine anyone disliking such engaging tunes, such joy in their making. The recording is of course digital so it helps to have a system capable of taming the inevitable string stridencies, but that said - if you like music from this period, or are curious, this CD offers a wonderful selection.

5 out of 5 stars Buy it!!!.......2003-09-12

This is a great cd! Very lively at times; very mellow at other times - but all tracks are wonderful interpretations of traditional songs by highly talented musicians....and who can argue with the price? BUY THIS CD if you are at all into this type of music!

4 out of 5 stars a treat.......2007-03-12

The sound quality is a treat. The choice of music pieces are delightful and a warm cheerful addition to my sound collection.

5 out of 5 stars Delightful Melodies!.......2005-07-20

What a wonderful purchase this was! It offers charming music to any occasion - especially themed parties. It's a sophisticated addition to my CD collection. Superb!

5 out of 5 stars Jolly good time........2005-07-20

Very well done and representative of some early music. Great for living historians looking to get that "period feel" for the music.

5 out of 5 stars Fab for Austen Fans.......2002-07-16

I bought this for a friend as we are tea party buffs and huge Jane Austen fans. It's great. I'm getting one for myself.

5 out of 5 stars Lively and enjoyable Playford.......2002-05-23

Although far too early for dancing if you are a War of 1812 / Regency re-enactor [best if your time period is Jacobean to Restoration England]the music is lively, merry, stimulating and just plain fun to listen too. It also has the only version of Mr Beveridge's Maggot [that was played in both the A&E Pride and Prejudice and the Paltrow Emma films]that I've been able to find. I listen to it all the time. Buy it!!

    5 out of 5 stars I HAVE seen this CD and really like it........2003-10-31

    This is a two CD set on which, though several of the cuts are edited, more than half appear in their entirety. What a splendid set they make! I've always been a fan of the musical grandeur evinced in British Imperial music. This album, particularly the first disc, offers music from this genre in spades, both instrumental and choral works. Hubert Parry's "I Was Glad" shines out in dazzling brilliance. Listening to Walton's warhorse "Crown Imperial" and Elgar's "Coronation March" we can visualize the full ceremony of state. And listening to Coates' "Dam Busters March" brings to mind all the hope of a proud people fighting, down to its last collective drop of blood, a mortal threat being wrought by an invader's ruthless forces. I'm sure this sounds melodramatic, but after all, total emotion is what this music is all about. I might ask for a cut or two less of Coates or Walton, not because those recordings were not excellent, but because, instead, I'd have liked a cut from Bridge, Tippett, or even Rutter. But, excepting that slight objection, this CD duo does its job most excellently and well.

    5 out of 5 stars A pure delight, whole heartedly recommended!.......2001-04-24

    I don't knwo how this music is for dancing, not being one, but as a musician and a listener, I find this album a joy through and through. Bare Necessities is a quartet of musicians (pianist, 2 violinists, and a flute/recorder/guitar/penny whistle player) with a taste for very pleasant ornamentations on the melodies. I can't describe the music to you, but if you remember Ken Burns' "Civil War" series, you -may- recall the light, soft piano throughout - - the pianist there was in this group, and her delicate style is in evidence here. The songs here are rarely delicate, but the ornamentation is light. Some of the songs are fast elizabethan tunes like Jamaica, and use interesting chromatics (Jamaica itself sharps the fourth and fifth notes of the key), others have haunting melodies (Well Hall). I've been listening to this since, oh, 1984, and am completely taken by it.

    4 out of 5 stars What ECD int he USA sounds like!.......1999-12-14

    This group has been playing together for many years. The sound of the album reflects that. They all sound as if they have a great appreciation for what the other person is doing. They don't get in each others way. The melody is clearly carried along and they have a lot of fun with it. To take these very simple tunes and make them sound this good really is a sign of great musicians. I don't know if people who are unfmailiar with Contra and English COuntry dance will like this album, but anyone who likes this style of music will enjoy it, and it is very musical and melodic, so lots of other people who are turned off by the mixed production and musical qualities of folk albums by other groups, will enjoy this. It is good music played with spirit, skill, style and taste,

    5 out of 5 stars Absolutely a delight!.......1999-11-07

    Great not only for sweet listening, but also for English Country Dancing gatherings. These guys take it to a new level! This is a must have for those who love renaissance music, combined with soaring improvs.

    5 out of 5 stars Every last note..........2006-06-14

    A super budget 5 CD collection of all of Grainger's Piano music.
    Every last note!
    The shipping alone would be $17.00+ for the 5 individual Cds.
    Englishman Martin Jones plays these as if he wrote them. He is thoroughly inside this music.
    I think his best work to date.
    He is joined on CD #5 by Richard Mcmahon and Phillip Martin. Where they rollick in various combos and trios on 1, 2 and 3 pianos. This is exhilerating. Especially on an truly uplifting version of Green Bushes.
    The entire set is strongly idiomatic and given a clear, crisp, warm and spacious recording. FIRST CLASS sound.
    There are too many highlights to single out, but the In A Nutshell Suite and Green Bushes are especially GOOD!
    There is not a bad note or "vibe" on any of these CDs.
    Highly recommended for Granger fans and fans of English Piano Music.

        5 out of 5 stars Very good for learing English Country Dance.......2002-04-22

        I have been using this CD for several years to teach English Country Dance, and it is without a doubt the most played in my collection. So many other compilations have just a taste of the melody, maybe enough for one verse, or the tempos are wrong. On this CD, everything is just right. The tempos are lively, yet easy to follow. Each piece has the correct number of repetitions to complete the dance. I particularly like that the dances are arranged by the number of couples. Especially good for performances, where a 2-couple set can move seamlessly from Rufty Tufty to Hearts Ease to Argeers without skipping a beat.

        5 out of 5 stars An excellent collection of First Edition Playford dances........2000-06-16

        This album is a must-have for any fan of English Country Dances. Every dance on the disc comes from John Playford's influential 1651 edition of the "English Dancing Master", and almost every track is perfectly dancable (I know this from personal experience). The tunes are accurate to the original, the tempos are just right to dance to, and the arrangements are interesting and different from track to track. If you want to listen to what people were dancing to 350 years ago, buy this disc.
