Notes and Editorial Reviews
"...I am in two minds about this disc. I have nothing but admiration for the playing of the members of L'Art du Bois, and I hope to hear more from them. I am not that happy with some of the arrangements...It is understandable that an ensemble with this line-up would look into the music of the English renaissance. There is certainly much to find for them to play without any need for arrangements. That said, if you like this kind of music and you are less fussy than me, this is the disc for you." - Johan van Veen, MusicWeb International
