Early music recs wanted

[ellid]

I'm particularly interested in pilgrimage songs, but any good early music collection will do. I just picked up a CD by the New London Consort and am craving more.

:D

Thanks for the list! These sound terrific.

Question: do you have any recs for John Dowland? I'm not crazy about Emma Kirkby and Sting's version drove me nuts....

do you have any recs for John Dowland?

I tend to sing Dowland more than listen to him :-) so I don't have any recs off the top of my head--I can check after I get home tonight. Is it just Kirkby, or do you not like British vocal style generally?

Kirkby. I've never cared for her voice. OTOH, I'll take an English oratorio tenor over just about anyone except the late, great Fritz Wunderlich.
