Notes:        CD1 Early Christian Chant (5th -13th Century) Chant, chant, chant! You won't want to listen to this many times unless you are a chant specialist.

CD3 Birth of Polyphony (1100-1300) Includes music from Notre-Dame School, hockets from the Bamberg Manuscript, etc., etc. Now it's getting more interesting! CD4 Polyphonic Motet from Ars Antiqua to the Renaissance Includes 14th Century English music (Hilliard Ensemble), Dufay, Dunstable, Plummer, and from the Renaissance Desprez, Janequin, Byrd, Gesualdo and Hassler CD5&6 Polyphonic Mass from Middle Ages to the Renaissance Machaut - Messe de Notre Dame, Desprez - Missa Pange Lingua, Janequin - Messe `La Bataille' Lassus - Missa `Tous les regretz', Palestrina - Missa `Viri Galilaei, Byrd - Mass for 4 Voices CD7 French `Petit Motet' and `Grand Motet' Dumont, Lully, Delalande and Charpentier Te Deum. CD8 Lamentations & Tenebrae Music by Massaino, Lassus, Charpentier, Couperin, and Krenek CD9/10 Monteverdi Vespro della beata Vergine - Herreweghe In my opinion not such a good recording as the one by Rene Jacobs, but nice to have to compare. Also Vespro Solenne by G Rovetta (1596-1668) from Cantus Colln and Konrad Junghanel. This is beautiful! CD11/12 Alessandro Scarlatti - Cain overo Il Primo Omicidio - Rene Jacobs A great recording of Scarlatti's oratorio of the story of Cain and Abel. Good orchestral playing, excellent soloists. CD13/14 Handel - Messiah - Les Arts Florissants, William Christie A very creditable Messiah. It certainly beats both my Huddersfield Choral Society and my Bernstein version, and comes pretty close to the more exciting Rene Jacobs version. The soloists here are good - Barbara Schlick, Sandrine Piau, Andreas Scholl (excellent), Mark Padmore and Nathan Berg. CD15/16 Mendelssohn - Paulus - Herreweghe This work was new to me, and on a single hearing is beautifully performed, if perhaps a little understated. CD17 Music for the Reformed Church Music by Sermisy, L'Estocart, Tallis, Purcell, Schutz, Bruhns and a Missa brevis in F by Bach. The Bruhns cantata made me want to investigate his music further. CD18&19 Bach - Christmas Oratorio - Rene Jacobs A simply stunning recording. Soloists are Dorothea Roschmann, Andreas Scholl, Werner Gura and Klaus Hager. CD20&21 Stabat Mater On these CDs we get Stabat Maters by Pergo
