Quote from: Mandryka on August 23, 2025, 09:41:14 AMVery lovely singing in Girault de Bornelh's Reis Glorio, from Zuchetti's La Troba. The poem of this song is very fine I think, and there are a few excellent versions - I remember Paul Hillier on Hyperion (the one from ECM to new age hippy for me.) But really look at the poem and tell me who should be singing it, a man or a woman. When I read it, I assumed the poem's voice was a woman's lover.

Even if she is a woman - albeit a somewhat androgyne one as to voice - the recording of Andrea von Ramm (with Studio der frühen Musik) has so far been the one to impress me the most.
Reality trumps our fantasy far beyond imagination.

There's something a bit too jaunty about it for me, though I like Andrea von Ramm's style always.

Ensemble Super Librum is good, with a little organ.  Very noble, introspective and contrapuntal arrangement.

I never heard it in that way.

It's OOP, as far as I can see.

I'll put it on symphony share, along with some other things, later.
