The intriguingly named Martin Peudargent (meaning ‘Little Money’ in French), was born around 1510 in Huy in the Prince-Archbishopric of Liège. From the mid-1530s he is recorded as owning a house in Düsseldorf, where he probably worked as a master of music at a convent school. Starting in the late ... more |

The Russian period instrument orchestra, Pratum Integrum, has made a number of splendid recordings on the Caro Mitis label, but none is as delightful yet than this disc - apart from the companion recording, "Telemann in Minor", that is!
Sonically, this is a superb production in both stereo and ... more |

Purely from the point of view of performance, this is a disappointing recording. The instrumentalists are proficient and polished, but the voices, especially the solo singers, are poor. Especially the upper voices are riddled with excessive vibrato which sometimes even shakes them off key and always ... more |

The effect is so striking I think every lute recording should be issued as an SACD - though, of course, the skill of ... more |

| There is yet another fairly recent recording of music from Ortiz's Tratado de Glosas, by the Spanish ensemble La Reverencia:

| I agree.
I just got the disc in the mail yesterday. I had forgotten how incredibly short the playing time is: 49 minutes only - which is a bit disappointing even at mid-price and with the re-mastering. A pity Alia Vox did not combine it with another appropriate Savall recording of Spanish music. However, this is the only quibble I have with it, ... more |
