Free Music Review: Just short of excellent
Hit: 4 Stars

After four extremely worthy releases on Philips label of the newly formed Musicians of the Globe under Philip Pickett, a fifth has just been issued that is of equal value (one can never get too much of well-done Elizabethan and Jacobean music, now that the Deller Consort is no more) but not quite of equally satisfaction. I have played and enjoyed very much their <Shakespeare's Musick,> <The Enchanted Island,> <A Shakespeare Ode,> and <The Masque of Oberon.> Their <Purcell's Shakespeare> has eluded me but sooner or later it will be added to my collection. Therefore I had obtained the latest entry, <Nutmeg and Ginger: Spicy Ballads from Shakespeare's London> (456 507-2), with great anticipation. The generous 23 tracks are divided into instrumental, vocal with accompaniment and vocal without. The first two formats are what I expected: elegantly and (presumably) authentically peformed. Now so is the third, but the selections are quite long and really need some music behind them. The tunes are catchy but not quite enough to keep one's interest for the full 3 to 4 minutes some of them take. Yes, the words are witty, the situations are bawdy though never never explicit (in the best British tradition); but again interest is not maintained throughout the long and musically repetitive stanzas. Far more amusing were the old Elektra LPs with Ed McCurdy and guitar leering lewdly through a purely vocal program of dirty ditties. The singers (Joanne Lunn, Sally Bruce-Payne, Paul Agnew, and Roderick Williams) know what they are about; and indeed their singing is perhaps a little too refined given the material. Still ye lovers of the old-time song, do not pass this one up.
