Synopsis

Album Description

A new project, based on vocal fragments by Guillaume Dufay (1397-1474), combining early music and contemporary sensibilities in a most attractive way. John Potter's clear and beautiful voice enveloped in Field's generous electronic soundscapes. Respectful but imaginative approach to Dufay, a key figure in Western music history who was the first to achieve international fame in the 15th century

CD Reviews

Excellent Dufay - then and now!!!

Milton G. Scheuermann Jr. | New Orleans, LA | 06/02/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"An excellent recording all around. What a pleasure to hear a totally contemporary approach to the poetry and the music adaptations to Dufay's music. I'm sure Dufay would have been pleased with this important link between medieval and Renaissance music.Highly recommended."
