Nolo is keen on old music from the 12th century,,,I go as far back as Baroque classical and that's it.

Looks like an interesting site though Frayed...

Wonderful stuff...those great English madrigalists are just so transporting - back to another more innocent age! I think Emma Kirkby singing the songs of John Dowland with Anthony Rooley playing on the Lute would be my perfect madrigal evening of choice. Incidentally this is what Sting has been dabbling with lately on his Songs from the Labyrinth album, one of my favourite albums of the last couple of years, he's really good with this John Dowland stuff...it's a hell of a long way from 'Da Doo Doo Doo, Da Daa Daa Daa'!! - check this out
