Reviews CD Alta Musica
We feel ourselves drawn back into the Middle Ages, to one of the banquets at which the Alta Capella played and enjoyed great popularity. The radiant tone of the loud wind instruments, bombarde and shawm, alternates with the soft, gentle sound of the recorders. A fine contrast, particularly as all instruments are played clearly and cleanly and the musicians show great sureness of intonation. The wind instruments are joined in some pieces by fiddle, string tambourine and voice. Here too, all the singers and players command our attention with their varied and sensitive playing.

... a quite splendid production, ... with great tonal variety, ... good ensemble playing!
Dr. Bernhard Morbach, Sender Freies Berlin
The range of instruments in part anticipates the later city waits while sensitively accompanying the song. The sources (Codex Faenza, Codex Reina) are highly promising, the CD still more so: Middle Ages within reach, well described in the booklet and equally lucidly illustrated, and recorded in impeccable sound quality.
All those interested in learning more about the precursors of the city pipers should definitely get hold of this CD. They may well be just as thrilled as I was.
