This program, featuring the polyglot Monteccasino manuscript, is not of the very highest interest, but does form a valuable point of reference for the state of secular song in the later fifteenth century. The inclusion of Spanish & Italian examples is especially worthwhile, although all have some resemblance to the Burgundian style.
The performance here is superlative, especially with Micrologus' striking use of sonorities and exceptionally clear conception & presentation. Although there are fewer vocal tracks than one might want, the instrumental performances continue the clarity. They really make the most of this music.
