The Gramophone Award-winning artist Davitt Moroney spent more than fifteen years planning this unique and momentous project.

As an authentic complete survey of this music, six different instruments were used for the recording—two different harpsichords, muselar virginal, clavichord, chamber organ, and the Ahrend organ at L’Église-Musée des Augustins, Toulouse, France (where the huge and high nave creates an echo that lasts for nearly fifteen seconds, not unlike the acoustic at Lincoln Cathedral where Byrd was the organist and master of the choristers).

Gramophone Award Winner / Classic CD 100 Greatest Discs of the Decade / Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik.

‘Surely definitive and a triumph for all concerned … the quality of the interpretation flows flawlessly throughout the series … probably the most significant issue I have yet reviewed. There are so many glorious details in his playing that it is hard to know where to begin in its praise’ - Gramophone

‘The production values beggar description. Absolutely stunning. A landmark release as musically eloquent as it is scholastically fastidious’ - Classic CD

‘A monument in the history of early-music recording’ - Sunday Times

‘This is a truly landmark recording’ - New Statesman

‘If you have any interest at all in Byrd, keyboard music, English culture, or, indeed, music of any sort, buy this set’ - Early Music Review

‘In 25 years of reviewing I haven’t come across anything of such importance, substance and consistent musicianship’ - BBC CD Review

‘A triumph. Surely the definitive account for the foreseeable future’ - BBC Music Magazine
