A Rose of Swych Virtu Reverence from the Renaissance and Middle Ages

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
There are many recordings whose theme is music for, about, or in praise of the Virgin Mary. This one does a far better job than most--from the outstanding musical selections to the excellent performances to the superb instrumental and vocal arrangements. The choice of tempos and the overall pacing are absolutely right, and the individual voices work well either solo or in ensemble. There's a huge variety of musical selections, from 10th-century Spain to 16th-century England--many are by anonymous composers, but Praetorius, Nanino, and Morales also are represented. These five performers manage to create an atmosphere that captures the energy and spontaneity of a concert. The only unfortunate thing about a recording such as this is that it may not get the wide attention and distribution that it deserves. --David Vernier

5 out of 5 stars One of the best early music albums available........2003-06-17

The more you listen to it, the more you hear in it. The small size of the consort give it an intimacy that coupled with the quality of the recording, and
the power of the arrangements and performance, really grabs you. "Heu, Teneri Partus" absolutely takes me away.
