CD Reviews

Fun music, frustrating recording
C. Dalton | The New World | 01/13/2008
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Instead of performing it as a museum piece, the performers place modern humor (Holy Grail coconuts!) alongside the jolly (occasionally baudy) songs. Enjoyable as it is, it is nonetheless problematic. The narration is split into two separate stereo channels, the approximation of the original French dialect on the left, the modern English on the right. It's a bit confusing to listen to.



The notes are the biggest problem: There are no texts for any of the plainchants and motets scattered throughout the play. Also, the tracks listed on the back of the liner notes are totally wrong. How could they let a gaffe like that slip by?"
