Review by Lindsey Sun

Renaissance Fantasias by Anthony Rooley is an album that showcases the beauty and complexity of Renaissance music. The album features a collection of instrumental pieces from the 16th and 17th centuries, including works by composers such as John Dowland and William Byrd.

The performances on this album are exquisite, with Rooley and his ensemble bringing a level of precision and nuance to each piece. The intricate interplay between the instruments is particularly impressive, with each player contributing to a rich and harmonious sound.

One of the standout tracks on the album is Dowland's "Lachrimae Antiquae," a hauntingly beautiful piece that Rooley and his ensemble perform with great sensitivity and emotion. The album also features several pieces by Byrd, including the lively "The Bells" and the more contemplative "Pavan and Galliard."
