Description
Courtly poetry of the 13th century The courtly poetry of the 13th century has a simple splendor. In these songs, personalities speak across centuries, fascinatingly tangible and contrasting. Mr. Walther questions a stalk, a poetess turns the world upside down, a country dance course with Neidhart, news from Eschenbach, Tannhäuser grins and King Alfons hoards Marian songs… The character of this music is as multi-layered as its former purpose: pensive, tart and cheerful, minstrel-like, oriental-foreign, graceful and even dance-like. The requirement to record all the pieces live has resulted in a very natural reinterpretation of what is probably the earliest testimony to Western identity. Performers: Karsten Wolfewicz Max Hoenow Lorena Wolfewicz Instruments: Crotta Citôle Exaquier Harp Bells Huelzern Gelaechter Schalmei, Radleier Recorder Drums Bone Bagpipes Porativ Busine Jew’s harp Tenor fiddle Rautenfidel Bohemian grand piano Vocals
