You ladies are wonderful. This Fantasia was very nicely played. Thank you so much.

[AlainNaigeon]

Are you amateurs? That's really very good !!

[newgambagirl]

@AlainNaigeon They really are good aren't they. Some are, some aren't. Some are professionals on other instruments.

Marilyn plays with Greensleeves and others

Valerie plays with the Niagara Symphony and others

Marilyn, Valerie and Sheila play with Nota Bene Period Orchestra ...

@newgambagirl Thanks for the answer! I've already noticed that a little bit of pros in a group is quite efficient, and, as for me, I play better when playing with strong players...

The result is amazing because a viol consort might have sounded muddy. You have well mastered the reverb.

[newgambagirl]

@AlainNaigeon I wish that I could personally claim some credit here, but alas no, I was just in the audience this time around doing the recording.

Thank you so much! I play the Viola, and i've always been interested in "Viols", I've only read about them but until now have never actually heard one. They are absolutely beautiful!

Heaven begins here...

They're not "fretted cellos". They're viols (viole da gamba), a different family of stringed instruments, popular in the 16th & 17th centuries. Look it up in wikipedia.

[Trcls]

wow a fretted cello. that's cool

[TheLfwjo]

Every bowed-lutes have a characteristic tone color. The fullest bass sound is produce by cello...

This left me welling up, its almost to good to be real

Congratulations on an excellent performance. I have added a reference to it in the Wikipedia article on Byrd

[deadlyernest100]

Well done on an excellent performance. I have referenced it in the text of my article on him in Wikipedia.

Excellent! Bravo!!!!!

[Polluxgeminae]

Very nice!

[ge7243]

Wonderfully played. This song seems to make a lot more "sense" in this video than the one from the Byrd compilation I had bought.

[coaxqueen]

Amazing! thanks a lot for this video.

So you got the worst version ever (hard to believe) Few (really a few) likes and comprehend Byrd's music =)

[arkeo2001]

One of the best performances of one among my favourite pieces. Very good pitch and clear polyphony!

[cubsrule2040]

I like this piece too, but I'm more of a Beethoven romantic guy

[ernststolz]

this is good too!
