have been searching for this for years.......2007-06-11

Happy to see the Collegium Terpsichore CD out again (disc 1), though hiding in this bargain set, wasn't immediately obvious. But one listen to the Praetorius samples and knew I found it. This album was played continuously on the air on KKHI when I was in college (circa late-hippie_, and I never tired of it. I wore out my LPs. Now I've misplaced that single CD so might have to buy it again if I can't locate it soon. Phooey. At least it's available. It's the most refreshing CD you'll ever put on your player.

An Excellent Introduction to Renaissance Dance.......2005-06-23

This is my first disc of Renaissance dance music, for which I have been searching for quite a while. I thought ir was very excellent. I have heard some before when I was in a few Shakespeare plays, and ever since, I have been looking. These selections provide a broad range of the music of the courts during the 15th and 16th centuries. There is music from all over Europe, including what sounds like Southeastern Europe. The interpretations are also very good, and they put me, at least, back into that time period. The only problem I found was the glockenspiel like instrument, which was sometimes a little annoying. Otherwise, wonderful.

renaissance dance music.......2004-10-24

This CD is a compilation of three recordings which are From The Vault: Dance Music of the High Renaissance by Fritz Neumeyer, Dance Music of the Renaissance by Josef Ulsamer, and Early Baroque Music by Konrad Ragossnig.

Wonderful reissue from early days of early music recordings.......2004-01-28

This cd is a reissue of material from several albums in the 60s. The Fritz Neumeyer recordings of Praetorius are from an old Archiv LP that was one of my first introductions to "early music", and it can be charged that it was more enthusiastic than historically informed. A recorder consort will take up one section of a tune, and then a group of viols will swirl in, maybe followed by crumhorns playing another brief phrase, and then a solo harpsichord finishing off the tune. Different instruments provide a variety of textures of sound, keeping things interesting even though most of the tunes are played fairly "straight", without a lot of improvisation. There's been quite a bit of research and rediscovery of Renaissance techniques since this record was first out, and I appreciate those, but these old recordings really get my toe tapping and remind me why I fell in love with early music in the first place.

the music of this compilation are very interesting, the sound good, not so good the musicians

Yet Another Jewel In My Collection.......2003-12-09

As a lover of Early Music, I have collectd several of the best works put out on CD over the years, and now have a nice little library of this genera music. And this disc on the Helios label, which features Italian works from the early 17th century, fits in well. It is highly recomended as an introduction to the "Late Renaissance" style, which was by this time highly popular throuout Europe, especially in England, where a vogue for all things Italian was all the rage in the court of Elizabeth I. The instrumental works feature viols(the parents of our modern bowed string instruments), as well as harpsicord and regal(a sort of medieval pump organ). All in all, a great disc that will enrich the musical tastes of those who hear it.

The young pianist Olli Mustonen relies on exaggerated articulation in this collection of little-known Beethoven--a very interesting program. Is Mustonen trying to duplicate the sound of a fortepiano? (If so, he should have used one.) Or is he just trying out new effects at the keyboard? But the results of this playing style have to be heard to be disbelieved. It takes your attention away from the music and focuses it firmly on the pianist, which may well be his idea. --Leslie Gerber

Colorful.......2001-12-29

I find this interpretation actually quite colorful and entertaining, really. These are dances! These are variations and bagatelles; alone their mere titles would suggest a rather, say, improvised approach rather than mechanical following of tempi and notes in a sense of "how the composer would have wanted it".

I wouldn't recommend this style for pieces like the moonlight sonata, but here, why not. A much needed fresh wind so to speak.

Some of the shortest 68.43 min I ever had.

Mustonen makes sure you hear every single note........2000-06-22

Those who enjoy Pogorelich's often narcissistic approach to piano playing may enjoy this CD. Although most of the pieces performed here are not technically demanding, Mr. Mustonen seems to rely more upon extreme articulation than on inhuman bravura. That is not to say that he plays slowly; the last of the Six Easy Variations, for example, (WoO 77) is played at a very fast tempo. Some of the pieces included on this CD are marginally interesting, so Mustonen's style, although conceited and dry at times, can also be rewarding and even necessary.

Like many pianists of her generation, Dame Myra Hess was a performer rather than a recorder. She simply shined in front of an audience, singing out Chopin's F Minor Fantasy in rolling, assertive paragraphs, and delivering a carefully selected Schubert Dance set with twinkling generosity. Her Schubert B Flat Opus Posthumous Sonata is more congenial than searching, yet always singing, and without the strain of her BBC version recorded a decade later. --Jed Distler

Disappointing.......2004-07-20

This is the third of this series to come out and the third I have reviewed. I am fascinated by the history of piano-playing and grasp at any chance to hear pianists from an earlier era. The Welte-Mignon piano rolls are probably better at reproducing the playing of great pianists of the past than the more familiar piano rolls we associated with the Player Piano. But there are still some unresolved mechanical complexities with the system and a resulting mechanical quality to the music produced. In particular there is a subtle rhythmic instability that is probably discernible by most listeners. Having said that, there are some performances here that I am very happy to have. The pianists represented are: Artur Schnabel, Ferruccio Busoni, Josef Hofmann, Carl Schmidt, Olga Samaroff, Xaver Scharwenka, Rudolph Ganz, Yolanda Mero, Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler, Fanny Davies, W. Krowsky, and Wera Schapira. It is of note that some of these pianists lived on to record phonograph records, and where they are available (e.g. Fanny Davies in some of the 'Kinderszenen') they are preferable. Who needs Schnabel's Welte-Mignon efforts when he lived well into the electric period of recording and left a huge recorded legacy, including all the Beethoven sonatas?

American pianist Fanny Bloomfield Zeisler plays two Chopin selections-the Op. 70, No. 1 Waltz, and the B Minor Scherzo, Op. 20, No 1. The former is delightful, with an almost Viennese Schwung. But the Scherzo is a dog's breakfast; I think it is the recording process, not her playing, but one cannot be sure, of course. And in the Scherzo the piano is out of tune. Ferruccio Busoni, a real giant of the piano, is ill-served here. He made a few gramophone recordings but they, too, are not so great, although preferable to the clunky Paganini/Liszt 'La campanella' here. Josef Hofmann's 'German Waltz' by Anton Rubinstein is awkward, certainly not what we would expect from Hofmann's phonographic legacy; again, I blame the recording/reproduction process here. Davies's first six sections of 'Kinderszenen' are nicely done, I must say, but when she re-recorded them two decades later, they were much better.

All in all, I have to give this issue a thumbs down. I do understand that some of this same material is available on the Pierian label, but I've not heard those. One wonders if the reproduction of these Welte-Mignon rolls are done more expertly there.
