Looking forward this tomorrow. I already have a recording of the Lawes but am a big fan of Liz Kenny so I may have to have 2 copies.

Most of the early music CDs in the first half an hour were interesting but not quite the kind of music I listen for pleasure but I thought the last item was really very good.

Jacquet of Mantua: Missa Surge Petre & motets
MANTUA: Surge Petre; Missa Surge Petre; Ave Maria a 3; O vos omnes; In illo tempore; O pulcherrima inter mulieres; Domine, non secundum peccata nostra
The Brabant Ensemble, Stephen Rice
