Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Bravo Shirley Rumsey.......2002-08-16

Shirley Rumsey is one of the best singer-lutenists in the business.

5 out of 5 stars This is joyful music.......2002-03-29

Christopher Wilson and Shirley Rumsey are always solid performers; together with the ensemble Kithara they've produced a collection of lesser-known works from the Italian and Spanish Renaissance that will appeal to a variety of musical tastes. Check out "A quand' a quand' haveva una vicina" and "Folias" to get a sense of the variety. Sounds strange, but this is music I love to play while I'm cooking.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......1999-12-06

This album has some very nice pieces on it. Kithara sounds very solid on the vocals and instrumentals. I recommend this release to any renaissance music fan.
