Comments:
Information from owned recording (CD). This is in the "Documenta"
series of the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and never available in
North America. Thomas Binkley wrote the liner of this marvelous
recording. This recording appeared at the time the Studio der
frühen Musik ceased its activities (1977) but a detail not
often known, reported by Binkley in the liners, is that the
"Studio undertook two expeditions in the Maghreb (with the
assistance of the Goethe Institute) in the 1960's, which were
fruitful in the pursuit of elements of musical performance practices
relevant to the performance of Western medieval monophony. The
result have had a lasting influence on nearly all subsequent
performances...". This recording closed a circle. This is
also why this LP is sometime wrongly attributed to Binkley and the
Studio.
