Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A wonderful CD indeed
Few people are aware that Petrucci developed printed music and he was responsible for the printed dissemination of many works of composers of the Prima Prattica. Represented here on this CD are works by virtually every really major composer of this time including Isaac, Josquin, Agricola, Obrecht and Brumel - only de la Rue and Gombert seem to be at all missing. The idea of recording them is a brilliant one and Fretwork really make their instruments sing with the lovely rich tone characteristic of ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Unmissable recital of early music on early strings
This is a marvellous disc, one which sustains, indeed demands repeated listening. It could well be the best thing the veteran fretwork viol ensemble have ever done. These are not dance pieces but songs without words - instrumental arrangements of the Franco-Flemish polyphonic art-songs of the fifteenth century - compiled and arranged by an early sixteenth printer (the first music printer ever in fact), and played on viols which aproximate those used c 1600.
Fretwork outdo themsleves, playing ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great instrumental performance
I like this CD very much. The only thing that I can say that is bad about it is that it does not have any singing - it has all instrumentals. The beauty of this genre is not readily aparent at first exposure. The tunes are not as "catchy" as those in the frottola genre. However, after several sessions of listening to it, the subtle beauty begins to grow and reveal itself, like a vine growing on a tree trunk. These works are really quite exquisite once you get to know them, lovely like flowers on a vine. ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - an acquired taste...
Sorry to say, this music is not my cup of tea. It seems a bit dull and unobtrusive, rarely toe tapping in any shape or form. After a time, I found myself wanting to put on something else. Still, the music is well performed by one of the great early instrument ensembles. I do enjoy music for viols, but this music just may be a bit too "early" for me. If you appreciate this genre, you might wish to audition prior to purchase.
