An ideal programme of early music for those wanting to discover this fascinating and varied rea of music inctrumental and vocal. “The record is a success, partly because it contains something for the listener who wants early music that is easy on the ear as well as something for the listener who seeks a deeper understanding of the Italian repertory around 1500. Tyler ... has chosen his works with care, and the manner of performance usually shows why his choice has lighted on one particular work rather than another. Paul Elliott sings with the energy and elegance which we are acustomed to hear from him. There is some rich and spirited rebec playing from Roderick Skeaping. And from Tyler himself there is some fine lute playing, particularly in the Dalza Piva where his true skill as a player of florid music sparkles through.”
