Music reviews of Romaria

Music Review: Stunning contemporary interpretations of early music
Rating: 5 Stars

This CD, the third in ECM's Dowland Project, features tenor John Potter of the Hilliard Ensemble at his absolute best. The songs, written from the ~12th to ~15th centuries, are played and sung with a maximum of expression. They are certainly not period-accurate performances - that's simply not the point of the Dowland Project. The point is to bring new life to these centuries-old works in interesting and unexpected ways. Take the saxophone and bass clarinet solos, for example, played in the style of the original music, but not actually written into the scores. There is improvisation here as well. Many of the musicians are jazz artists, after all. So if you want to hear something like you've never heard before - something that I expect will blow you away, get this CD. Highly recommended for fans of medieval and renaissance music, jazz, and the Hilliard Ensemble.

Description of Romaria

The tenderly melancholic album crosses the genres, with potential appeal to early music lovers, world music and jazz improvisation audiences alike. John Potter has selected a program of early songs and polyphonic vocal repertoire ranging from Gregorian chant and the Carmina burana manuscript (13th century) to Josquin Despre(c.1450/55-1521). Potter sees written music as a resource for fresh ideas and ravishing colors. All arrangements are developed in the improvisational interplay between the four musicians. The Dowland project appears on this third album in a slightly modified line-up: four outstanding players from different musical and cultural backgrounds fusing early music, folk and jazz sensibilities
