MUSIC FROM THE REIGN OF HENRY VIII - FORBURY & HOLBEIN CONSORTS

Music from the reign of Henry VIII - Music from Forbury & Holbein Consorts. Authentic Music of Henry’s Court Tudor times. The King engaged in, and took credit for composition himself, often “rounding off” works by professional Court musicians. These included Cornysh and van Wilder. Many of these 27 dances and courting songs are from the “Henry VIII’s manuscript” collection. Directed by Julian Podger Total time: 59:10   “It`s a celebration of the musically cosmopolitan court of England`s Henry VIII…very well sung. In all, this collection rises far above the many haphazardly cobbled compendiums we often find in this category of recordings. The sound is absolutely fine – clean, clear and appropriately intimate.” David Vernier – Classics Today And I war a maiden Anon.
