Customer Reviews

Harmonia Mundi, all is forgiven!
Other reviews of mine on amazon are perhaps a tad hostile to HM's new-found 'soft-focus'. No so here. This is atmospheric but not in the sense of 'ambient'. Not at all. I've always had a soft spot for the Dufay Collective. Never mind the ethos, commendable though it is. To coin a phrase (!) these folk rock! On this, their first outing after a (yet another) change of label, they present a program of early Spanish music with such panache and bravura that harks back to their first release in the early 90's done through a single mic in a 'busk'. Studios have not softened them, they are 'troubadours' in every genuine sense. The instrumentalists are all virtuosi, and the vocals are, as ever, sparse and spine-tingling. I'd give this six if I could.
When I hear this, I wonder why musicians had such lowly status in centuries past, or whether this combo migh have changed that. (14th century beatlemania, anyone? would've changedd the course of history!).
Also recommended: their entire back catalogue, but especially the 1998 Chandos release "Miracles".
Hats-off to HM for giving its head to one of the most uncompromising groups around. But will it last? Please, yes....
