Album Description

Julianne Baird writes: "Music and the social status it expressed was an integral part of Jane Austen's life. Her novels are replete with details of domestic musical activities. Accounts of public concerts and private balls as well as music programs with hired musicians fill her letters. A dedicated amateur herself, Austen ordinarily played at the pianoforte at least an hour a day before breakfast from the 8-book music collection now preserved in her home at Chawton. For nieces and nephews she practiced 'country dances,' a number of which appear in her collections. Austen painstakingly copied and bound music that especially interested her. Two books are in her own hand - one of piano pieces and the other (Book III), of vocal music, recorded here in its entirety. Some pieces contain her own suggestions for ornamentation. Prominent themes are naval affairs, country life, drinking songs, love, Turkish and Moorish motifs, female character pieces, and the French Revolution. The novels of Jane Austen reveal her as a keen observer of early 19th century English society. Now, through her Songbook, she herself springs to life: her special likes and dislikes, her boisterous sense of humor, her passions, the way she amused herself and what she was like relaxing with her family and friends." This is a very special album indeed.

Customer Reviews:

This CD is Nice..... But I like Jane Austen Companion Better.......2007-01-16

This CD is nice but not one that I will listen to often.
The fact that you get to hear what music Jane Austen liked is quite amazing. When you think I'm listening to music that Jane Austen listened to over 200 years ago.
However I'm not a great fan of Opera Music and that is probably why this CD is not one that I will listen to often.
But if you like listening to Opera Music. You will like this CD.

Beautiful vocal music.......2005-10-17

This collection is wonderful and gives us an opportunity to experience some of Austen's favorite music.

FANTASTIC..........2002-03-13

THIS IS REALLY ONE OF THE BEST RECORDINGS OF THE FRENCH BALLETS.
THE QUALITY IS WONDERFUL AND IT IS PURE LISTENING PLEASURE...

French Ballets.......2001-02-02

This CD is wonderful! It presents the highlight of 4 classic French Ballets beautifully. While listening to this impressive collection of music you can close your eyes and imagine yourself being transported to the fine old theaters in France listening to the music being performed before your eyes. My daughter has studied ballet for 8 years, and we have a lot of ballet discs, but none of them do we enjoy as much as this one. We have one in the car, one at home and one in the Walkman. I would highly reccommend this to the novice and seasoned listener. Sue B. Toledo, Ohio

An ear-pleasing listen!.......2000-05-10

This C.D. is very quiet but if you like guitar or classical music you need it. He did an incredible job. The first track, Carmen, is haunting and the others are just as dynamic.

Customer Reviews:

Treat yourself to this album.......2002-03-28

For fans of chamber music, classical guitar and/or lute music, this album should definitely be in your collection.

The Air de Cour -- literally "courtly airs" -- was a 17th century vocal artform popular throughout France. The songs here are distinct, catchy, and above all fun to listen to. Marie Claude Vallin and Max Van Egmond do every justice to this little-known style of singing. And fans of lute music will appreciate Lutz Kirchhoff's master touch on the accompaniment and various dance pieces that give added continuity to this album.

For any early music fan who has not had the pleasure of listening to the music of Pierre Guedron or Robert Ballard, this album might be a prime introduction to their outstanding compositions. The lute music of Robert Ballard has also been performed on several other Renaissance/Baroque albums available through Amazon.com.
