Customer Reviews

Authentic as can be !
This recording should be in every early music lover's collection! It's a landmark performance of secular song, as close as any modern interpretation can come to recreating not the rarefied music of the court, but the everyday songs of the people. The performances are both heartfelt and erudite- you'll want to hear this CD over and over.

Generous survey of music from 16th Century Germany
Berger and Convivium Musicum hail from the School of Musicology at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, but this CD is far from dry and academic. It is probably at present the best survey of Senfl, Isaac and Hofhaimer's secular works in the catalogue.

The songs vary from sincere lover's plaints to the moderately bawdy, and are nicely distributed among Berger's vocalists.
