        5 out of 5 stars spirited, precise renditions of excellent music!.......2005-10-14

        I actually picked up this album at the Folger Shakespeare library, the D.C. library/theater at which the Folger Consort is based. I listened to it and was immediately pleased. The instrumental pieces aren't quite my thing, but they're very well executed. The madrigals, though, which make up about half of the album, are just superb. My title really says it all--these recordings are sensitive, energetic, and really just excellent. Pick it up and enjoy.

        I love this album and was fortunate enough to see this group live. They are so unbelievable. This album could make anyone love classical music! You will thank yourself every time you play this album.

        5 out of 5 stars The title says it all!.......2004-12-13

        The liner notes say, "The Florintine monk Severo Bonini noted sourly that sonatas played in church by violin, recorder, theobro, and violone 'stir up unbridled youth ... to merriment and lust and profane the house and temple of God against all propriety.' " While it unlikely that many today would have such a reaction, this baroque music has a beautiful quality of vitality and fun. It is one of those rare CDs that I can put on repeat and listen to for hours. If you like baroque music at all, you will treasure this CD.

        4 out of 5 stars not quite there.......2007-02-16

        I ordered this CD as I was impressed with Palladian's CD " Held by the Ears". I found it a very successful program of music beautifully played ; a mix of Ayres by Nicola Matteis and trad/anon Scots tunes and ayres. This CD also has Ayres by Matteis and other works by lesser English composers of the period , they are all well played but taken as a program it all falls a bit flat. The Matteis is not as lively and jolly as that on "Held by the Ears", two movements are designated malinconico. The other composers have fallen into obscurity, possibly for good reason. There is one track by anon, "Old Simon the King", which provides 2 min of superb recorder playing.
        I don't think this program quite works, even though the playing of it is excellent.

        3 out of 5 stars No joy in Mudville for me.......2006-03-17

        I bought this knowing nothing of the Palladian Ensemble other than the glowing review here. This is an era I enjoy, a unique collection of instruments, and I'm always on the lookout for the unknown. The playing is spirited, especially the viola da gamba--wow!, and the recording is certainly expressive, (maybe a bit too expressive; sometimes that recorder sounds as if it is whistling inside my head.) But I have given this CD at least twenty listens, and the compositions have failed to grab me. I believe Purcell the neglected genius of Western music, so I know the flavor. But while this is all pleasant enough and a few pieces do really shine, the vast majority of it falls into the charming background music. Nice enough to have on, good for cooking to or encouraging conversation, but the heart is just not there.

        That is not to say there are not delights all over. These are mostly sprightly and elegant tunes. Sometimes they hit it spot on. The string playing is a marvel. But they do not grab the soul, shake it, and not let go. They dissipate all too readily, leaving nothing but a vaguely pleasant memory.

        5 out of 5 stars Choice Indeed.......2000-02-18

        I have listened to this disc over and over for weeks on end. The playing is fabulous - spirited, informed, and with the fine sense of ensemble that one expects from the best string quartets. The repertoire is fascinating and entertaining. This is the perfect album to play when you get home after a really hard day. It restores my faith in Western Civilization. Order it today and I guarantee that you will become a fan of The Palladian Ensemble.
