The Baltimore Consort, America’s most popular early music ensemble, mixes instruments from different families. Over the years they have covered various musical styles, including music of Ireland, Scotland and of course, the music of Shakespeare’s time. So with this recording they have enjoyed returning to their origins – the English music for broken consort. As with all their recordings, the music is expertly played and the Dorian sound is brilliant. So take the time and enjoy; it’s well worth it.
