Music reviews of Remede de Fortune
Music Review: Impassioned Machaut performances
Rating: 5 Stars
The title of the disc is somewhat of a misnomer -- not all of the pieces here are from the Remede de Fortune, but this is no complaint. All of these are performed with instrumental accompaniment (lute, vielle, symphonia, harp), which works especially well for the solo songs (I'll admit I can't listen to solo voice a capella for very long!). All the vocal performances are extremely good, ranging from sweet to visceral, even (to risk being labeled a ponce) bluesy. Just listen to "Tels rit au main qui au soir pleure", you'll see what I mean.
Description of Remede de Fortune
Machaut was not only a composer of liturgical music, but also was equally famous for his secular works. Among these secular pieces is "Remede de Fortune" (Remedy of Fortune)-which became one of the most popular love poems in medieval Europe, securing Machaut's position as the premiere poet musician of 14th century France. The very lengthy work-- 4300 lines, selections of which are performed here--describes a deeply emotional outpouring of feelings of romantic love-of pain, desire, devotion, beauty, hope, and longing--which the speaker/writer never can reveal to the subject of his love. The poetic language is extraordinarily beautiful, and the melodies perfectly reflect the varying moods and lyricism of the words. Ensemble P.A.N. performs these widely varied songs with such skill and feeling that we don't even have to know French to understand the meaning of the texts. --David VernierGeneral CDs
