Two Gentlemen of Verona
Music of the 14th Century Vol. 1
The Music of the 14th Century Vol. 1 is an anthology of recordings of the secular music of medieval France and Italy. Volume 1 contains works by Jacopo da Bologna and Giovanni da Firenze.
Jacopo da Bologna and Giovanni da Firenze are the most prolific representatives of the first known generation of Italian polyphonic composition. These works were written under the patronage of the della Scala family in Verona and the Visconti family in Milan, and exemplify the "sweetness and intricacy" of their melodies. Press quotes:
“The performances have a fine flow and an impressive clarity ... it has opened my ears ...”
— Clifford Bartlett, Early Music News, UK “a satisfying mixture of scholarly research and musical inspiration ... is of particularly good value and worth a listen by the general collector.”— Sammy Breve, Australian Music Teacher Audio preview:
