Label - Calliope

Cat. No. - CAL9360

The Montpellier Manuscript is the richest single source of thirteenth century French motets, a musical treasure revealing an extraordinary assortment of styles and literary genres, and written in Latin and medieval French. The religious and the secular, the elegant and the crude, the serious and the comical are found side by side and sometimes even together in the same motet. The voices are subtly accompanied by medieval instruments.

Ligeriana, the all-female vocal ensemble, formed by its director Katia Caré in 1999, aims to illustrate the wealth of inspiration that is found in this chansonnier and show the different treatments of the recurrent theme of love.

Label - Alpha

Cat. No. - ALPHA085

In the wake of the troubadours the trouvères exercised their art from the 1160s. At the end of the thirteenth century the last trouvères were for the most part clerics, writing poems dedicated to the Virgin Mary, or polyphonic chansons. They covered an extensive geographical area, which encompassed the whole of northern France and the southern part of modern Belgium. The poets expressed their talents in a wide range of poetic forms, either imitating those used by the troubadours, or inventing new ones, chansons d'amour, de croisade [crusade], de femmes, de toile [spinning and weaving], d'aube [dawn parting], sottes-chansons [parodic], jeux-partis [debate], reverdies [Spring and love]. The trouvère chanson is the artistic expression of feudalism, with courtly love as its principal subject. This programme presents some of the jewels of the canon, using interpretative techniques closest to those of the trouvères themselves either a cappella or accompanied by a single instrument.

Then there is Libby Crabtree with her clear, precise, yet glowing soprano voice...rollicking jollities...illuminating insert-notes." - Mary Berry

A collection of 25 madrigals from 23 different composers, from the famous to the obscure, make up this Elizabethan curiosity, published in 1601 by Thomas Morley.A musical dedication to Queen Elizabeth 1, The Triumphs of Oriana displays the talents of English songwriters, long-overshadowed by their European counterparts, conjuring up an image of an idealised and mythical England of old.

Started in 1968 by six Choral Scholars from King's College Cambridge, the King's Singers quickly became a prominent musical force in the UK.The rest of the world soon followed so that today the group's engagements are spread throughout the four corners of the globe. Since their debut concert the King's Singers have commissioned works from many well-known composers including Krystof Penderecki, Luciano Berio, Peter Maxwell Davies, Ned Rorem and Gyorgy Ligeti.

This branch of their repertoire now comprises well over 200 pieces. But above all it is their simple enjoyment of what they do that has captured the imagination of the public all over the world and kept the King's Singers at the top of their game for three and a half decades. As The Times put it, they are "still unmatched for their musicality and sheer ability to entertain."

Label - Nimbus

Cat. No. - NI5261

Guiraut Riquier is the last known exemplar of the long tradition of sung poetry which began in South West France at the end of the 11th century. Requier believes in the old ways of troubadour art, the old values it represents. This disc traces his wanderings in search of recognition. Riquier’s surviving melodies number 48, and the selection on this disc are approached with regard to both main rhythmic theories of transcription. Martin Best has been called the ‘first great contemporary Troubadour’ for his performance of the Minstrel and Troubadour tradition from the Middle Ages to the present day. "Best's anthology is expertly assembled and skilfully performed. It displays the sardonic humour and ribaldry of troubadour lyrics as well as their elaborately sentimental courtliness. I can only applaud Best's continuing championing of troubadour art." Classic CD
