"A brilliant and well informed presentation of tricky 13th-century repertoire… A haunting instrumental CD from the time of the troubadours.. remarkably convincing and satisfying. It is easy to agree that this is musicianship on a very high level." (Gramophone Magazine).
"Medieval songs played with great virtuosity and a variety of sound textures; an audiophile's delight"
(MusicWeb)
Poems in praise of the Virgin set by Gautier de Coincy (1177-1236) to medieval popular songs
The sophisticated elegance of trouvère poetry is wedded to the stark simplicity of peasant dances in these works by the 12th-C French abbot Gautier de Coincy. Using 10 voices and a variety of instruments from medieval fiddles to bagpipes, The Harp Consort directed by Andrew Lawrence King performs with its renowned mix of expert scholarship and inspired improvisation.
"A superbly skilled … ensemble." - Gramophone
