Customer Reviews:

Beware! two old CDs reissued with a new name.......2006-08-02

I bought this CD with great anticipation because I love Spanish music of this era. To my disappointment, this was not a new recording, but a reissue of two CDs I already own: "1492: Music from the Age of Discovery" and "Traveler." If you don't have these CDs already, this double set is a great bargain. But check your CD rack before buying!

A reworking of a prior disc - but now with 2 CDs.......2006-01-27

I was pleased to see that one of my favorite CDs had not really gone out of print, but was reworked into this title and now with a bonus CD. Even though I own the original "Music from the Age of Discovery 1492", I'll probably buy this disc just for the extras. Very nice mood music, lots of variety, exotic instruments and lovely voices.

perfect by candlelight or in the office.......2000-10-20

i've owned this CD for several years, and never tire of it. weather i'm curled up with a book, or just in the office with headphones on, it's appropriate for any occasion (outside a raucus party). i highly suggest it if you're interested in exotic, mystical, and festive tunes.

Customer Reviews:

Priceless.......2006-12-05

This recording first turned me on to early european music when it was released. If you are at all interested in this type of music or even just curious it is money well spent.

Fun, entertaining, and wonderful.......2005-09-27

This is another stellar production by Erato, of the Camerata Mediterranea, under the direction of Joel Cohen. In my collection, I treat this disc as a companion piece to the collection 'The Sacred Bridge' by the Boston Camerata, which has sacred music from the Jewish and Christian traditions in the Middle Ages. This disc concentrates on secular music of the age of the minstrels and troubadours. Much is anonymous, both in lyric writing and musical composition. Indeed, according to Cohen, 'virtually all the minstrels' instrumental music of the troubadour period has been lost, and was perhaps never written down.' Musicians and musicologists have to rely on the folk tunes and later compositions known to incorporate themes to reconstruct as best they can the music from this period.

The performances of troubadours was sometimes a capella, but more often accompanied by plucked string sounds such as harp and viola. Cohen argues that the wind and percussion instruments of many recordings are less likely to be authentic. These are story/text driven songs.

One of the interesting aspects of authentic troubadour music is that performers were recruited not on the basis of music merit, but rather on connection with Occitan/Provencal as a primary consideration. For this recording, Anne Azema, Francois Harismendy, and Jean-Luc Madier have living Occitan connections. Joel Cohen, Cheryl Ann Fulton and Shira Kammen round out the players.

The songs (chansons) are divided into six main story lines, with improvised musical interludes. Troubadours told stories with their songs, and this disc is no different.

The performances are wonderful, lively, fun and full of energy. One can imagine being in a medieval chamber being entertained.

For their debut recording (made in 1987), the ensemble Sinfonye put together a program focusing on (as the subtitle puts it) "the Medieval Woman: Lover, Poet, Patroness and Saint." Naturally, Sinfonye includes "A chantar m'er," the only lyric by a female troubadour (the Comtessa Beatriz de Dia) to have survived with a melody; they also include two examples of the chanson de femme, a genre that, though written by a man, depicts a female narrator lamenting the loss of her beloved to another. The centerpiece of the disc, however, is the Cantigas de Amigo by the Galician trovador Martin Codax: this six-song cycle depicts a young woman alternately lamenting the absence of her seafaring lover and celebrating his imminent return. Very little is known for certain about how or even whether these songs were accompanied by instruments; Sinfonye uses various combinations of medieval fiddle, hurdy-gurdy, harp, and drum--and even unaccompanied voice. Singer Mara Kiek, whose background is in Balkan folk singing, has a throaty, slightly rustic tone yet sings with a vivid eloquence fully worthy of the material. --Matthew Westphal

Customer Reviews:

Unusual and gorgeous.......2001-10-17

I have a big collection of early music but this recording is unique, mainly due to the vocal talents of Mara Kiek. Her slightly rough style is a wonderful foil to the primitive quality of the medieval instruments, and suggests the Middle Eastern origins of the music better than a classically trained voice would. The album as a whole is seamlessly presented, but the clear standout is the song cycle "Cantigas de Amigo," by 13th Century Galician trovador Martin Codax -- a haunting series of poems that reflect the yearning of a girl for her lover at sea. Highly recommended!

an exotic medieval atmosphere.......2001-05-08

This album is unique , a one of a kind expirience. for a person who enjoy medieval music this one is a killer! like a dark, religiouse, sensual ritual full of exotique colors & smells. "sinfonie" succeed to create a most fasinayting interpretation of the material and the resault is very impressive! mara's voice is more like a crying gipssy then an angle but it is hypnoticly beautifull in its own way... the sounde & the playing of andrew lawrence kings harp are superb. in short, if u dig me then buy it !!! come on..... i'm waiting here beside my computer.

Beautiful.......2000-12-08

This was one of my first introductions to "early music." I have since bought many more, but this is still one of the best. The performances are fantastic; singing, playing, everything. The middle eastern qualities of early European music really comes out on this disc. The singing and playing have a more folky, rather than opera-like sound.

These songs are from the days when music was just starting to come out of the church and into secular society. Singing about love between a man and a woman!?! How scandalous!

I am very interested in European languages and history and I find the lyrics (also translated into English)written in medieval Provencale, French, Gallego, and Catalan particularly captivating. Booklet also contains extensive liner notes in English and French.

Very beautiful medieval music. Wonderful vocals and with early instruments. This does not require a PhD in ancient music to enjoy; it is a naturally pleasing CD, not an acquired taste for academics. I have owned this CD for many years, and I still listen to it regularly.

Superb.......2004-02-17

Many good versions of the Llibre Vermill are out there, but this is among the best. Caveat: it is early music, and it isn't. It's the good old Llibre Vermill songs, but they're done in a very modern, new-agey way. Beautifully sung, great for relaxing.

Here are five and a half hours of little-known music dating from the mid-12th century to the start of the 16th. Some of it comes from France (Provence, in particular), some from Spain (songs of praise to the Virgin Mary--many in amazing dance rhythms), some from Italy (songs of love and war of the troubadours). There are instrumentals with great vigor, complicated vocal works, chant, the expected music of praise, and a few unexpectedly ribald--almost lewd--songs. Taken a CD at a time, this is a magnificent journey, but be warned: being stuck in the Middle Ages for too long might make you yearn for those simple, high-minded times. --Robert Levine

Customer Reviews:

but what are they saying?.......2006-06-06

This is, musically, a wonderful set. But beware: there are no song text translations; a fatal oversight for six CDs of almost exclusively vocal music by composers to whom text was as important as melody, and in languages that don't exist anymore. In that regard, it was very disappointing.

A heapin' helpin' of early music.......2005-10-14

Wonderful from start to finish, this set is quite a sampler, with enjoyable selections performed and recorded well. I suspect some accomodation is being made to the comtemporary listener here and some of the performances may not be 100% "historically accurate." But so what? I've been listening to this at home and while out and about on my iPod. There's quite a variety here which causes the set to avoid the "sameness" of many other sets of this type I've purchased. And the price is defnitely right, particularly for a used copy. What've you got to lose? Give it a shot!
