Notes & Reviews:

This recording of music in London from 1580-620 is representative of the music that was heard and played during what is rightly referred to as the Golden Age of English music making. The sheer veriety of music is astonishing and it is equally remarkable that so much has survived the past 500 years providing evidence of a many-textured musical life.
