Recommended despite some failures
The music on this two CD compilation is excellent: well-performed, as authentic as modern scholarship allows, and wide-ranging in context. The problem is that for anyone really interested in the material, even as a recreational listener, the liner notes are ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1995
7.5 hours of superb music at a most reasonable price.
There isn't a clunker in this set. All the performers are top drawer and the recordings are good. The notes are a little brief and a bit scholarly, but can be ignored easily. You will get an idea of the different kinds of medieval music as well as the top groups and ...

A Medieval Party Record

A Resounding Success
If one read the album notes but failed to read the fine print on the rear of the jacket, one would likely assume that this recording was made in Notre Dame Cathedral, which it was not. It was recorded at Chancelade Abbey, Dordogne, France. ...

Early Vocal Music at its Best
Trio Mediaeval can easily claim the title of the best early music female group worldwide. This is simply great and moving music and while there is a prevailing sense of somber piety throughout, there is enough variety in each selection to keep the listener ...

exquisite purity of sound
Lionheart, a six man a cappella ensemble, have such perfect unity, and a sound so clear, they make this collection of 13th century chants one of the most peaceful CDs I own. Great for study, reading, or just to listen to its beauty, this mystical, glorious plainchant ...
