This new collection, compiled from outstanding recordings by England’s renowned Pro Cantione Antiqua, new collection to showcase traditional Glees to the growing young market of singing and glee clubs, takes a fascinating look at the traditional glee (from which “glee clubs” get their name) and its roots in secular madrigals.
“No trace of exaggeration here and the sense of fun is well calculated to tickle the audience, not just the singers. Such an expert group might be tempted to play it too cool, but they are in the capable hands of Mark Brown who …makes sure that points are not missed. … Excellent results.”
