Description:
Music from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance is a play of time and space, the movement between suggested contrasts; vocal-instrumental, melody-tone, spiritual-materialistic. Our journey through various cultures and dimensions of sound from these epochs in France, Italy and Germany will help to explain this interplay of connected contrasts. Nevertheless we have compiled all the instrumental parts on CD 1 and the vocal music on CD 2. So friends of instrumental- and new age music have their own spirtual vibrations as well as those who prefer the vocal parts or, of course, both.
Biography:
Hortus Musicus, the 'Music Garden”, was founded in 1972 by Andres Mustonen with his first concert in Tallinn, Estonia. The musicians are considered to be the most highly individual and most sprightly interpreters of 'ancient music”, i.e., artistic European music from its beginning to the masters of the Fate Renaissance and the Baroque. Their vitality and their enthusiasm does not allow boring erudition to arise. It is reputed to decipher the applicable time period as a whole, to make music precise and homogeneous, in the authentic style, but not at the expense of the zest and with precisely the amount of personal freedom for their creative talents, for improvising and for extraordinary interpretation, It is exactly this non-academic composure that makes them so popular and that also makes the hearts of many ancient music ultra-purists involuntarily beat faster.
