Comments:
Information from CD and Bruno Cornec.
This CD may have been previously released as a LP, but, no trace has been found, although it makes sense; nearly all CDs releases under the label « Astr&eeacute;e E 77xx » were originaly released in LP format as original edition.

Pierre-F. Roberge

The Ensalada (musical salad) is a poetical work which combines lines in different languages, as well as instrumental sonatas. It is rooted in the medieval practice of singing different texts simultaneously, and incorporates well-known romances and madrigalist elements. Generally based on stories from Christ birth, ensaladas a big portrait, a la Janequin, occupying a midway position between art and folk music.
