Music of the Gothic Era Reviews
| 18 of 21 people found the following review helpful  A classic performance, This review is from: Music of the Gothic Era (Audio CD) This recording remains a classic, even if (as Daniel Leech-Wilkinson points out in his accompanying notes) some of Munrow's performance practices may be disputed today. This is, quite simply, a wonderful performance and a terrific sounding recording (even after nearly 30 years)--and a wonderful way to develop an ear for the music of the 13th and 14th centuries. 9 of 12 people found the following review helpful Unique, By Xyp (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews This review is from: Music of the Gothic Era (Audio CD) This is early vocal music very much in the style currently heard in groups like the Hilliard Ensemble and Tallis Scholars. It is very spacious-sounding and solemn, which makes sense- most of the music that we have preserved from hundreds of years ago was written for use in the church. Fortunately, the gravity of the works never stops this set from being thoroughly enjoyable, too. Archiv's sound is, as always, very good. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful Great collection, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Music of the Gothic Era (Audio CD) This is a wonderful collection of early music. He over uses the bells on the Leonin, and I suppose some scholars would object to some of the performance practices, but generally, he makes a very good case for this wonderful music. Much of it sounds amazingly contemporary, especially the Perotin. The Machaut works are especially interesting. |
