Troubadours & Trouvères
Gerard Le Vot, et al.
Studio SM 12 21.75

This is the kind of amazing recording which can really bring a repertory to life for the first time. The depth of the interpretations is startling. The selection is also a fine one.

In some ways, the performance is rough around the edges, especially when it comes to instrumental sonority. However, the phrasing and articulation are so rich that I continue to find it extremely valuable, especially when it comes to developing further interest in the monophonic repertory.

To medieval secular list
