Reviews CD Wolkenstein
Philological precision and musicological authenticity characterize the work Rainer Böhm and his ensemble have done to illuminate the musical world of Oswald von Wolkenstein (and his contemporaries). The subtlety of the song texts is reflected in their precise and yet graceful interpretation. The artistry of the composition is especially well brought out by this use of instruments without voices. This is a consummate panorama of music in the early 15th century.
Fono Forum
The selection sets out to be colourful, extending to a number of instrumental originals of later songs. The performances themselves are vivid with colour and bursting with life: full of rhythm, the vocals deliberately unadorned and the instrumental work beautifully coordinated. What seems at first sight to be a subject for specialists soon turns into a popular, full-blooded slice of audio time travel.
Klassik-heute
...and the choice of materials gives a good perspective of what was known in Southern Germany in the first years of the 15th century. All the performers are highly skilled, with a good variety of colours and approaches; but perhaps the main thing is that the performances remain vital and vivid throughout. This is good listening.
Grammophon
The tiny independent audiophile label Carpe Diem praises its "Direct Stereo" natural sound, and I found while listening to this that I could follow them: the recording quality is absolutely first class! Ensemble Alta Musica, directed by Rainer Böhm, has here put together a representative sample of his music. ...the whole CD is so original and of such high quality (including the digipack cover and excellent introductory text) that anything less than five stars would be merciless. This is definitely a CD for all fans of late medieval secular song.
