    Wonderful. Her diction is superb, every word clear as a bell. Great musicians. Fantastic basson. Great drummer.

    Maddy Prior - still one of the finest voices ever. Brilliant, thank you!

    Man, this is good stuff. So great to escape the abominable department-store renditions of Christmas carols and hear something as warm and soulful as this.

    I've been wanting to grow up and be Maddy Pryor since 1972. It hasn't happened yet, but I'm still hoping!

      Just self identify as Maddy. Those top notes won't matter.

    Excellent version. It's almost as if Gryphon is jamming with Maddy and the gang. This really is how this song should always be played!

      I wasn't so sure about that statement when I first read it, but after thinking about it a bit, I believe you're right. This version expresses real joy: not a superficial, over-the-top simulation thereof.

    Love it! This makes me think of one of Mr Pickwick's frolics, despite the renaissance instrumentation. Guess I always fgall into the trap of forgetting gthe comma between "merry" and "gentlemen", so I'm seeing landlords filling flowing bowls, which is not the message at all!

    i love it! though i prefer her cd version from a tapestry of carols with less of that "lilting" she's doing so much in this version.

    Anybody know what instrument the man is playing that looks like a basson?

    • @johnfdm123
      @johnfdm123 8 років тому +2

      That is a Rankett

      Actually I think it’s a Curtall (also known as a Dulcian). Ranketts are much shorter and have more buzzy tone
