Music reviews of Polyphonie Aquitaine of th 12th Century

Music Review: Great interpretation
Rating: 5 Stars

I really like this recording. I am not an expert in Early Music, but I do remember being introduced to it in an old recording of Perotin. The music sounded so unusual, mystical and masculine that I just loved it. Upon looking at newer recordings they just didn't seem to have that sense of masculine mysticism. The interpretation style is usually very fluid and slow and seems to not accent what I think early polyphony is built upon---parallel lines of fourths or fifths which give me a sensation of otherworldliness. This recording, however, has a sense of sacred power and mysticism that is created by those fifths, rich masculine voices and a tempo that is not too slow. The voices are great and the higher voice is taken up not by a woman, but by Gerard Lesne, a fabulous countertenor with a very rich voice, not thin and weak at all. I can really see how knights, princes and monks would listen to this. If they sang this at church I would probably go everyday.
