| |  | The Medieval RomanticsFrench Songs and Motets, 1340–1440
Gothic Voices, directed by Christopher Page ‘These performances reach an unrivalled level of excellence … and show just how marvellous medieval music can be’ (BBC Record Review) “Enthusiasm abounds in this landmark recording, sometimes overwhelmingly. The textless or partially-texted vocalisations that cocoon the poetry occasionally tip over into jarringly reedy vocal lines. Subtleties elsewhere - generally in Andrew Lawrence-King's playing - compensate for occasional longeurs.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2008 *** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Ce Diabolico ChantBallades, Rondeaus and Virelais of the late 14th century.
The Medieval Ensemble of London (Medieval instruments rebec, fiddle, douçaine, gittern and lute, join alto, tenor and baritone voices from within the Ensemble), Peter Davies & Timothy Davies ‘Ce diabolic chant’ is a description of the extravagant and complex polyphonic French songs written by composers of the late fourteenth-century. “So why hail this reissue… as a real event? Simply because it contains all the surviving music of Jacob de Senleches, one of the 14th century's greatest composers.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2008 “These late-14th century courtly avant-garde songs are superbly performed in minimalist groupings by the ensemble which inspired Gothic Voices. Long overdue on CD.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2008 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Codex ChantillyBallades & Rondeaux
Ensemble Organum, Marcel Pérès The successors of Guillaume de Machaut carried polyphonic complexity to unresonable lengths, even beyond those already attained by the Ars Nova. But these pieces of 'superior art' go well beyond mere speculation. Just before the Renaissance they propounded a scientific vision of music on the borders of the mystical! | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
