Excerpts:
[6] Astrée (Auvidis) E 7699 [CD] Astrée Auvidis: un autre regard sur la musique

The present program is based on music described in the Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-c.1375), which provides one of the most significant looks at upper class merriment in medieval Italy. The last three songs are two-voice ballatas (not "monodiques" as implied by the CD title).
