Collegeum Aureum // "Texts included : as they should be, of course. But some will, I fear, not approve (them). Its anthology (includes) the less polite secular music of the 17th century reminds us that the madrigal cult then was only one side of the coin...The result is usually fun, no more and no less. ...It was in truth, tavern music, sometimes for strictly male company, and its robustness is highly enjoyable.... So, gentlemen, a disc for a stag night. Do enjoy it" (Gramophone)
