Lunaris: an evocative and eclectic journey through the phases of the moon from two artists known for their performances in Early Music, Jorge Jiménez and Anna Stegmann
[…] the tracks are short, and the disc is as much about the transitions between as the pieces themselves, hence Jimenez Soundscapes. Jorge Jimenez also has a new project which launches today (12 March 2021), Rethinking Bach. In a series of episodes, he will be exploring Bach's Goldberg Variations via his own transcriptions for violin and all filmed in unusual locations in the UK.

Love in the Lockdown: Clare Norburn's new self-isolation online play with music
In September last year I chatted to Clare Norburn of The Telling about the ensemble's lockdown activities which includes a number of Clare's own concert plays [see my interview]. At the time we spoke she had a new concert play on the boil, Love in the Lockdown which was something of a departure for her. It concerned not an historical musical figure but a modern-day couple separated during Lockdown, the one a musician the other a playwright, both fascinated by Boccaccio and The Decameron, so that the resulting concert play involves music related to Boccaccio, by Guillaume de Machaut, Johannes Ciconia, Francesco Landini, Gherardello da Firenze as well as the issues of the Black Death in Florence in 1348. The result has come to fruition, and is being broadcast in nine episodes, in real time (except a year on) from 4 March to 23 May 2021. Emilia, the musician, is played […]

Of arms and a woman: late medieval wind music inspired by Christine de Pisan
[…] name of God). There is only one surviving contemporary setting of Pisan's poetry, so here we have a wide selection of chansons which reflect the themes of her work in versions for Medieval wind ensemble performed by Blondel (Louise Anna Duggan, Emily Baines, Daniel Serafini, Lizzie Gutteridge and Belinda Paul) on First Hand Records. Whilst many of the works on the disc are anonymous, we also have music by Dufay, John Bedyngham, Gilles Binchois, Johannes Ciconia, Baude Cordier, Guillaume de Machaut, Solage, Robert Morton, Francesco Landini, and Josquin des Pres. The result is 24 short tracks which engage with the melodic freedom of the music and delightful imagination of the scoring. Blondel use a mixture of instruments, recorders, shawms, bagpipes, slide trumpets, sackbuts, frame drum tabor and tamburello, so that each item has a sound world matched to it, from the martial combination of shawms, sackbut and tabor to […]
