Piffaro discs make this sedentary fool want to get up and dance. Renaissance dance music is a much-underrated source of general delight, anyway. You don't have to be the kind of specialist listener who loves medieval masses to get a kick out of this tasty, highly rhythmic music--the disco of an earlier era. The tunes are appealing, the sounds of the varied instruments consistently delightful. I rate discs of Renaissance dances not so much by their authenticity, a debatable matter anyway, but rather by their danceability. Piffaro discs rank consistently high in this respect, and they are realistically recorded. --Leslie Gerber

Triumphant!.......2006-12-01

This is truly one of the best albums of Renaissance music currntly available! Purely instrumental! Much of it appears to be music for a royal court event or the like, with much use of brass and wind instruments. There are also many selections for the festival setting, usually involving the bagpipes and hurdy-gurdy. Too many albums of ancient music "pad" the content with monotonous choral polyphonic selections, perhaps starting out with one or two really good instrumental pieces. However, they did not do that in this one!

Excellent Renaissance Faire. Buy it!.......2005-11-15

'Piffaro The Renaissance Band' is a Philadelphia group who has done several superior albums of Renaissance music for the label 'Archiv', late of Deutche Grammaphone, now part of Polygram. I was astonished when I heard from a student of one of the directors, Robert Wiemken, that the band is paid virtually nothing to make the record and have it distributed. While I would expect that from a minor label, it is surprising that an act should make it to Deutche Grammaphone and not be paid for their recording. I go into this minor digression because I am especially impressed by this recording and all their others as well.

I do take issue with it's being labelled a recording of 'wind' music, as there is ample representation from the family of string instruments, most famously the guitar and the hurdy gurdy.

Although I really enjoy 'old music', I'm not an expert on it, but I set out to distinguish this music from modern stuff, and the two I can find are the presence here of a lot of drone instruments such as the bagpipe and the hurdy gurdy and the absence of instruments such as the clarinet which give us that lushly woody tenor we hear in pieces such as 'Rapsody in Blue' or in some of Kurt Weill's German stage pieces. We also certainly miss the rich sounds of the piano, as the pianoforte has not been invented yet.

If you like old music, this band is a 'must hear'!

Definitely Worth the Listening.......2004-01-26

Simply lovely. Some whimsical, some more technically serious. In all, definitely worth the money and the time. One of my new favorites.

Superb musicianship on ancient instruments...........2001-10-03

I wish composers were still writing for hurdy-gurdy @ crumhorn...what a wonderful sound. I especially liked "La Parma". I do believe a modern tunesmith has taken that melody @ recently made a rather haunting popular song from it; a female vocalist, I think. If anyone out there can remember what the name of that modern tune is @ will post it here, it will save me some on-going mental annoyance. You won't go wrong in buying this album!

Piffaro Renaissance Band Superb.......2001-05-20

This CD has me dancing in the streets. I have played holes in the recording. The musicianship is extraordinary with excitement, love and a great warm sense of pleasure taken by everyone involved. Renaissance instruments are not generally known for subtlety or nuance, but these players work miracles. The percussion sections are also integral to the whole and thrilling, where appropriate. Piffaro, please keep your music coming.

Zefiro torna
Io son pur vezzosetta
Vorrei baciarti
O sia tranquillo il mare
Chiome d'oro
Non vedro mai le stelle
Mentre vaga Angioletta
Non e di gentil core
Tornate, o cari baci
Ohime, dov'e il mio ben
Bel pastor (Aminta e Clori)
Se'l vostro cor, madonna
O viva fiamma
Ecco vicine, o bella tigre, l'ore
O come sei gentile
Soave Libertate

Here is a brilliant example of the explosion of early music in Italy in recent years. American musicologist Alan Curtis and his Italian singers take risks galore: stretching the tempo here, making a sudden crescendo or decrescendo there--and they're not afraid to play the lighthearted pieces as broad comedy. All told, there's an excitement and daring in these performances you just don't hear from nonnative groups like the Consort of Musicke, however skilled they may be. This is not to romanticize Italianness: singing in one's native language lets a singer take risks with tempo, dynamics, and rhetoric while keeping a sense of where the boundaries of taste lie. (Imagine Italians trying that in Morley or Purcell.) There are certainly moments in this performance that some listeners will find overdone, but the performances are undeniably lively. There's no point in mentioning a favorite duet or singer--they're all fascinating. Check them out for yourself--and follow the text to really appreciate what they've achieved. --Matthew Westphal

Monteverdi de lujo.......2001-03-21

A partir del momento en que uno comienza a escuchar los 74 minutos de este marvilloso disco, sabe que va oir musica pura. La seleccion de madrigales que presenta es de varias fuentes: el octavo y el septimo libros de madrigales en su mayoria y la adictiva chacona Zefiro torna, de Scherzi musicali, en una interpretacion deliciosa. Los musicos son formidables: instrumentistas de gran nivel (resalta Andrew Lawrence-King en arpa, organo y clave)y cantantes de primera linea. Todos ellos hacen de este disco un derroche de expresion y musicalidad. Imposible perderselo.
