Rennaissance music at it's finest!.......2007-06-29

This was my first Renaissance music album and the broad styles of several composers were very well represented, especially Michael Pretorius, probably the most well-known composer of his time. The tonal quality sparkles and the latin language comes alive (along with English translation in the included booklet); be prepared for an aural "feast" of some of the more eclectic music from the Renaissance period!

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2007-02-04

To quote from the accompanying booklet seems to be in order to start this review: "This collection attempts to wipe the dust from some old ideas and restore music from the Middle Ages and Renaissance to its roots deep in the human soul.........What you're listening to on this disc is not the domain of museums, but the music of the people,born of faith and the love of song and dance".
This is a varied group of works, some dances, some strictly instrumental and some accompanied vocal.
The role of dancing, as you might suspect, was enormously important in this era. 'Le Bouree' showcases the dance music of the composer Michael Praetorius. The 'Bransles de Villages' is of French origin and features 2 violins, 2 violas, a cello, a great bass viol, hurdy-gurdy and 2 lutes. 'La scesa de Pastori dal Monte' is an Italian dance by Andrea Ansalone. Another dance written by Michael Praetorious was the 'Volte' which actually involved 4 short dances. It was considered not respectable because of the close contact between the dancers.
The strictly instrumental songs are : 'Dum pater familias' is called a pilgrim song, and it was religious in nature. And, of course, all the dance songs are instrumental.
The vocally oriented songs are: 'Quen a Virgin ben servira' is a song taken from a collection of songs about the miracles attributed to the Virgin Mary.-Three of the songs are from the famous 'Carmina Burana' manuscript.- 'Orientis partibus' is from the 'Feast of fools'which was a feast held by the church itself in which the status of the church herarchy was reversed as inferior clergy assumed the role of their superiors.-'Stella Splendours' is another pilgrim song; this song was sung by pilgrims who went to worship as the Shrine of the Virgin at Montserrat.

I always trust the quality of a CD when Philip Pickett and the New London Consort are involved. This album is very interesting, but I would hope that this would be classified as the more "pop" type music of the period. Also, I don't think that I personally would call it early music, as is indicated in the accompanying booklet. Today that term brings to mind Monteverdi, Cavalli, Palestrina, the Scarlatti's, up to and including Handel and Bach etc.. Just a personal reaction on my part. This is a very well put together disc.

A good sampler of New London Consort's work.......2006-12-20

Although there's nothing special about this disc as a compilation, it does provide a value-priced sampling of 17 tracks from the New London Consort's excellent recorded work. Given that so many of their recordings are difficult to find on CD at a reasonable price, and that one of my personal favorites ("Bache bene venies", from their masterful 4-CD recording of the Carmina Burana) is included here, I'd recommend this CD as a great place to start while you search for the original releases.

Excellent renditions of lively 'old music'........2005-11-23

'Sinners & Saints' by Philip Pickett and the New London Consort is just a bit too ambitious with their subtitle, 'The Ultimate Medieval and Renaissance Music Collection' as I find it hard to believe that 70 minutes can be the ultimate anything on 500 years of history. This is especially true since they seem to focus a lot more on the sinners than the saints, as there is virtually no liturgical music here. But, since there are so many good recordings of medieval liturgies, we aren't missing much.

This is really the sort of thing you would expect to hear from a travelling troupe of minstrals, but not from a solo artist, as practically every performance involves several instruments and voices.

Some tracks will sound especially familiar, as they are very similar to Carl Orff's 'Carmina Burana', inspired by medieval texts.

Compared to many recordings of music from Shakespeare's time, this collection is superior and well worth the investment.

A Treasure of the Time Period.......2005-08-11

I bought this CD with a children's history class in mind. We are studying the Dark Ages to the Rennaisance. I was delighted to hear the variety of selections which span the spectrum of genres during this period of history. My children and I have been listening to it in the car as well as at home for the simple enjoyment of the music. It will be exciting to present these pieces to my class as I feel it is a very accurate display of the cultures, instrumentation, languages, and styles of the Middle Ages. I am a proffesional musician and thoroughly enjoy most types of music so it wasn't hard to get me interested but I was surprised to hear my eight-year-old and five-year-old sons asking to hear this CD. The former child said it made him feel "important" to listen!!

I was absolutely amazed when I heard this CD for the first time. Everyone is under the impression that he has lost his voice! These are twelve absloutely wonderful re recordings of some of his most beautiful songs. Higly recommended for anyone interested in Latin music.

A very original concept album........2003-08-02

What most of Jose Jose's fans don't know is that when his first records were released, the bolero was giving way to the contemporary pop ballad. This CD is therefore a tribute of sorts to his musical roots and consists of twelve of his hits re-recorded in a "Trio" format (with some beautiful acoustic guitar work). A very original project.

Still "got it" after all these years.......2004-04-15

Jose Jose's voice blends so well with the trio, yet stands
out just enough. The harmonies are beautiful. He sings
these old standards straight without unnecesary frills.

Live tribute album plenty of romantic singers........2000-02-19

ENGLISH: This tribute was recorded in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, when Jose Jose was in a terrible situation because he falled into alcohol abuse again (you can see it in his look with less weight in the cover). Later he surpassed the situation, of course, but maybe that's why it was so emotive this album.

Jose Jose sings with soften voice in "40 Y 20" at the beginning, but with a clean, strong and unforgettable voice at the end of the album in "Voy A Llenarte Toda" (with great orchestra), " La Nave Del Olvido" and "El Triste" (his greatest hits). It really shows how it was the live performance of "The Prince" in the 90's.

Also, you will find other hits of Jose Jose performed with other latin stars: "Lo que no fue no sera" performed by his own composer, Napoleon, "Pero te extraño" with his composer Armando Manzanero, "Me Basta", with Rocio Durcal, " Amar y Querer" with Guadalupe Pineda, The first verse of "Si me dejas ahora" with composer Camilo Sesto, "Amar y Querer" and "Gavilan o Paloma" performed with piano by Raul DiBlasio, "Lo Pasado Pasado" performed by Eugenia Leon, and a great duet of Jose Jose with Marco Antonio Muñiz performing "Tiempo", the same as they did in the 70's.

ESPAÑOL: Este homenaje fue grabado en Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, cuando José José pasaba por una terrible situación pues había caído nuevamente en crisis de alcoholismo (puede notarse en su aspecto delgado en la portada). Después superaría esta etapa, claro, pero tal vez por eso fue tan emotivo este album.

Jose Jose canta con voz suave en "40 Y 20" al principio, pero con una clara, potente e inolvidable voz al final del disco en "Voy A Llenarte Toda" (con una estupenda orquestación), " La Nave Del Olvido" y "El Triste" (sus máximos éxitos). Realmente muestra cómo fue la interpretación en vivo de "El Príncipe" en los 90's.
