5 out of 5 stars A re-enactment for an infamous Duke..........2005-12-18

The Duke of Lerma's reputation hasn't aged well. Accused of bankrupting the Spanish Empire's banks, reducing the army and navy to a paltry shadow of their former selves, and miscalculating the horrendous economic effects of exiling thousands of moriscos (Christianized Moors) from Spain, biographies of the Duke often contain numerous less than complimentary passages. King Phillip III took the Duke under his wing and was subsequently treated to events of great religious splendor (allegedly to keep the Duke in the crown's favor as his reputation amongst the nobles melted like wax in a furnace; even the Duke's own son joined the plot against him).
The music on this CD attempts to recreate one such elaborate event. The Duke hosted Phillip III in Lerma in 1617, for the last time before the Duke's fall from favor, to a spectacle of theater, music, games, and religious ceremonies. At San Pedro church the King was treated to a lavish performance of First Vespers and Salve Service. And to this very church in Northern Spain Paul McCreesh and Company set out on their mission to reenact this same service. The results were incredible.
If the Duke wanted to curry the pious King's favor, he could not have chosen more inspiring and exhaulting music with which to do so. Mateo Romero's "Dixit Dominus a 16" provides two unbelievably moving creshendoes at the piece's end (though some doubt remains as to whether the piece actually appeared in the service). Tomás Luis de Victoria's "Magnificant a 12" provides eleven minutes of musical ecstasy. The track following it, Alonso Lobo's "Antiphona ad Magnificant" and Victoria's "Salve Regina a 8" provide the choral highlights of the disc. They may induce swooning. And these tracks only represent the highlights of the disc. Nearly every minute of music stands out on its own, particularly the choral pieces. Also, the four hundred year old organ of San Pedro church managed to hold together for this recording. Altogether, the ambience of the on site recording, the sonorous choirs, the amazing performances of all the musicians, and the wonderful gritty sound of the original organ all meld together in an amazing combination that would probably cause anyone to re-evaluate the historically maligned Duke (but they would come to their senses after reading his biography, of course; but it apparently worked on Phillip III). Regardless of the historical statuses of the Duke or Phillip III this CD represents a great example of beautiful and moving early seventeeth century music. Any fan of "early" music will revel in this disc through repeated listenings. The tracks mentioned above are worth the price of admission alone, but the totality of both CDs (comprising an hour and a half of music) won't dissapoint. Not only that, the 84-page booklet contains voluminous background information, photographs (including the famous Rubens equestrian portrait of the Duke from 1603), and all of the lyrics in French, German, Spanish, and English. The infamous Duke of Lerma (Fransisco Gómez de Sandoval y Rojas) may or may not be worthy of such a musical tribute some four hundred years after his controversial reign, but McCreesh and the Gabrieli Consort and Players put on such a spectacular performance that the exploits of the Duke (who, despite everything, also managed to become a Cardinal in 1618) fall nearly completely into the shadows. At least the Duke had great taste in music.

5 out of 5 stars J Kass is right.......2005-10-27

I agree with the previous reviewer 100%, some of this music is almost too beautiful for words. In particular, Tomas Luis de Victoria's Magnificat a 12 (track 24) on disc 1 & Salve Regina a 8 (track 11) on disc 2 really stand out. I also liked Alonso Lobo's O Quam Suavis Est. The "warmup" (track 1) on disc 1 also caught my attention right away. It sounds almost like light children's music which is a bit misleading in a way. I was soon floored by the overwhelming beauty & intensity of the rest of the album. The tracks by Tomas Luis de Victoria sold me. He's a real 'unsung hero' of the renaissance & his works on this album show why. The rest of course is also excellent. This is definitely one of my favourite McCreesh discs (I've got most of them). The other one would be Biber's Missa Salisburgensis, which has a totally different feel though. From what I've read, the Duke of Lerma was one of the most corrupt, sinister politicians there ever was. To get an idea of what he was like, check out

He could sure put on a concert though!

5 out of 5 stars Almost unbelievably beautiful.......2004-09-22

There are only a handful of choral pieces here among many instrumental arrangements (which I don't care for), but those have become favorites in my collection of Renaissance polyphony. One or two of the songs are the most beautiful music I have ever heard.

5 out of 5 stars An event.......2002-08-21

McCreesh and his Gabrieli consort & Players has done a marvelous record again. I must say that I really like (and admire) McCreesh way of bringing life to "odd" rare stuff like this.

This is something rare, personal and it must have be a lot of hard work with this. The old church organs (two of them) and other old period instruments give this an extra dimension and singers are at top level. This is spanish medivial/rennaisance (looking a bit forward to early Baroque) at its best and an event.

It probably costs a lot to do something like this (research) and this package is well worth its price, even if last disc only contains ca 40 minutes of music (first disc has ca 72 minutes of music), because it comes with a nice, beutiful, informative booklet, great well engineered church sound and lots of good, great choral singing and music.

      This excellent recording is both fun and informative in its skillfully performed program of more than two dozen songs, carols, and rounds from medieval and Renaissance England. The selections are drawn from three albums recorded during the 1960s for the Argo label. The performances--of both familiar and little-known tunes--are sung and played by some of England's most acclaimed musicians, including tenor Robert Tear, harpist Osian Ellis, the London Brass Ensemble, and period instrumentalist David Munrow. Among the highlights are "Foweles in the frith," a fascinating 13th-century six-part canon; "Nowell: Dieus vous garde," a highly syncopated antiphonal 15th- century choral piece; and the gentle lullaby "Lullay, lullow: I saw a sweete seemly sight," sung by two boy trebles. The albums' original, first- rate liner notes are included. --David Vernier

      4 out of 5 stars Quite charming.......2003-06-02

      This material ranges from the superlative to the dull. But the vast majority is delightful, winningly sung and played, with the big names of that era featured: Simon Preston, Ian Partridge, Robert Tear, and the incomparable David Munrow.

      This CD is the contents of two mid 60s LPs with a few tidbits from another tossed in. Maybe it's just familiarity, but the seelctions I prefer are those from the LP I had. Great to hear again, in a clear, light transfer. The recording is quite good; try Deo gracias Anglia with the headphones...just stellar.

      Stuff you won't readily hear elsewhere; performance ideas have changed for this music, mostly downhill, I would argue. This is joyous, jolly, full of verve and merthe.

          El Lobo, a perfect companion disc to the Clancy Children's So Early in the Morning: Irish Children's Songs, Rhymes, & Games, is a joyful collection of tunes and playground games sung and chanted by Latin American children. Mostly a cappella, the ditties are often punctuated by laughter and handclaps and the universal singsongy rise and fall of wee voices. While the Spanish, Indian, and African influences on colorful Latin American culture are undeniable and give the songs a distinct ethnicity, what is perhaps most striking is the commonality they share with children's music the world over. Young Americans will find that "Liron, Liron" is not too different from "Miss Mary Mac," nor is "El Patio de Mi Casa" far removed from "Say, Say, Oh Playmate" or the many versions of "Miss Susie Had a Baby." --Paige La Grone

          A fantastic way to get children involved in learning is through games and songs. What better way to teach language and culture, than learning games and songs from Latin American countries? This CD is a great resource and is actually sung by children (which my students really enjoyed).

              5 out of 5 stars A CLASSIC BY A LEGENDARY BAND.......2002-02-07

              For those wondering about the long title, this is actually simply called La Grasa De Las Capitales, and it is a CD by the legendary Argentine band Seru Giran, led by flamboyant, the incredibly talented Charly Garcia, probably the best and most famous modern musician in Latin America. The title for both the CD and the last song in it means Grease of the Capitals, a reference to the Travolta movie "Grease".
              At the time this great work was recorded, the songs from the movie and Disco music in general were saturating Latin American radio. Charly and his band made this amazing song that managed to compile Choral music, Rock, a bit of South American folklore, and a even a parody of Disco as a witty and timely criticism on commercial pop. Nevertheless, the rest of the songs are also outstanding. The acoustic ballad "San Francisco y el Lobo", a take on the history of Saint Francis of Asissi, for example, is perfectly rendered by David Lebon, the lead guitarist, with a mixture of heartbreaking beauty and vocal dexterity. Pedro Aznar bass lines give ample evidence of his talent, which also shone in his work with Path Metheny group. Drummer Oscar Moro, a veteran of the Argentinian Rock scene, boasts not only technique to burn but also an uncommon passionate sensitivity. All the albums by Seru Giran, by the way, deserve to be in the collection of anyone interested in quality music in any language.
              For non-Spanish speakers it is worth learning Spanish just to enjoy it, but even if you don't understand the words it is still worth listening to. A marvel.

              Que puedo decir...uno de los mejores albumes de rock argentino de los 80,un poco incomprendido en su momento,como toda obra de arte.La armonia y la quimica que lograban sus integrantes cuando tocaban se ha visto muy pocas veces,al igual que las letras,cargadas de ironia y realismo (tipico de Charly Garcia).Este disco no puede faltar en una coleccion de rock argentino.Muy recomendable,al igual que el resto de los discos de Seru Giran.

              No tengo palabras para describir este album. Lo unico que les puedo decir es que no puede dejar de escucharlo. A Seru Giran se los llamaba en su pais "Los Beatles argentinos" y la verdad es que no estaban muy equivocados. Tanto la parte vocal como la instrumental (ni hablar de las letras de las canciones) son extraordinarias. Aguante Charly!!!!!

              5 out of 5 stars Este CD es lo maximo !!!!!!!.......2001-03-11

              Charly Garcia es un compositor extraordinario y este CD en particular es el mejor de toda su obra. Seru Giran es el mejor grupo de Rock argentino y eso se refleja en este compac. Grasa de las capitales es un album que refleja la soledad y la angustia del ser humano, con canciones sumamentes oscuras.

              charlie es lo máximo en lo referente a la música latinoamericana con raíces en el rock y el pop. Todo su trabajo desde sui generis hasta hoy (hoy, para mi, llega sólo hasta "say no more")es una muestra de la genialidad de este músico. Deberían escuchar obras como: "pubis angelical" y "terapia intensiva", son muy grossos.
