Top notch recorder & string improvisations by Hesperus! by Brianna Neal (USA)  5 Stars
November 27, 2002
Lovely, soulful string-playing on viols, fiddle, lute, guitar and theorbo by Tina Chancey, Grant Herreid and guest Jane Hershey provides the perfect accompaniment and counterpoint to Scott Reiss's amazing acrobatics on the recorder. Reiss's pitch, technique and tone-control of this temperamental instrument are impeccable, and he makes his intricate embellishments sound impossibly easy. (They are not!) The resulting pieces are light, spirited, and full of fun. Using the title imagery, if this music is "the food of love", I should think the food in question is chocolate, and the listener should prepare to be carried away on an ebullient caffeine/sugar high when this CD is popped into the machine. For more improvisational marvels for recorder and strings, try "Folie Douce: Renaissance Improvisations" by Ensemble Doulce Memoire, and the Palladian Ensemble's "Held by the Ears".

| Medieval Dance Music
The Dufay Collective (Performer)
Medieval literature abounds with references to dancing, yet less than fifty dances are documented before 1400 A.D. and still survive today. Much of the music performed by medieval minstrels was improvised and often performed with a combination of instruments such as the oud (lute)and the rebec which were introduced to Europe by Arabs as early as the 8th century. By Drawing on tradition and reproduced using combinations of reconstructed medieval instruments and eastern instruments virtually...
