opis
This anthology of medieval - and earlier - music for voices was recorded fourteen years ago and first issued in 1993. It has now been given fresh bib and tucker by being slotted into a cardboard sleeve.
The songs date back between 600 and 950 Christmases and are predominantly spiritual rather than earthy. There are however a sprinkling of welcome vigorous tracks. Deo gracias is virile and truculent and the words The King went forth to Normandy are sung with gritty determination. Be merry be merry is oddly subdued but restraint is flung aside for Riu riu with its Iberian roughness and Carmina Burana staccato. Gaudete christus is given with burly ebullience. The heart’s centre for the collection is however a slow to moderato florid efflorescence including the lulling trance to be heard in O viridissima. In Alma redemptoris I was struck by the secure blend of the voices – one of their strengths. Nowell sing we adopts a slow steady sing-song. There are two Planctus pieces, one for the death of William of Normandy and the other to words by Peter Abelard lamenting the deaths of Saul and David. I am not quite sure what these have to do with Christmas but no matter. The Planctus David is a tour de force for Philip Cave and at 15:30 it is the longest piece on the disc.
Will appeal to those who prefer a more spiritual and meditative emphasis for an anthology of medieval music. • MusicWeb International, November 2006

Oxford Camerata here comprises four voices and with the exception of Gaudete christus – which includes a tambourine or similar – are unaccompanied. They are recorded in a typically resonant acoustic adroitly handled by the technical team who avoid complex echoes and cloudiness. Microphones are placed in close proximity to the voices so that one could swear you can see the breathy cold condensation rising from each singer’s mouth.
Will appeal to those who prefer a more spiritual and meditative emphasis for an anthology of medieval music. • MusicWeb International, November 2006
