Troubadour Songs
Chansons de trouvères Paul Hillier - voice Andrew Lawrence-King - medieval psaltery, harp & portative organ Discover the rich legacy of songs by the French troubadours –medieval bards who excelled in the art of courtly love. Sung in medieval French, this program brilliantly captures the magical fusion of poetry and melody in love songs noted for their improvised accompaniments. ´ Paul Hillier sait se concentrer superbement sur les mots, déduisant du sens du texte le mouvement de la phrase musicale (à la liberté métrique du chant courtois répond la souple rythmique des chansons de Mai et pastourelles). ª — Diapason |
