The Music of the 14th Century, Vol. 2.
The programme draws on the Rossi Manuscript, the earliest substantial collection of trecento song, then turns to madrigals by Maestro Piero and later madrigals and ballatas by Bartolino da Padova. Liner notes cover the composers, the works, their historical setting, compositional technique, full translations and a stylistic reading of each piece.
It sits beside the Giovanni da Firenze and Jacopo da Bologna selection on Two Gentlemen of Verona.
Reviews
the occasional track can do wonders to relieve sensory biliousness if you're indulging in an unrelieved diet of orchestral and/or operatic music: epicurean excess for the ear.
