We may remember Dante today primarily for his Divine Comedy, but he was famously fascinated by the 12th-century French poet-musicians known as troubadours. He chose many examples of their writing as evidence of the beauty of the vernacular language. Several of these favorite Dante songs are featured here, eloquently and passionately performed by one of today's foremost early music ensembles (Sequentia). --David Vernier

I had checked this CD out from my local library many years ago now. I liked it so much that I put it on a list I keep of musical pieces I particularly like. I tried to get the CD a few months ago and discovered that it is no longer in the circulation collection of the library. Luckily I was able to find a copy for purchase here. I was so excited when it came, I have listened to it multiple times since I received it. The early music presented on this collection is a delight, the recording is excellent and the performances are outstanding. If you have a thing for the haunting tones and melodies of early music this is a must have for your collection. Jewels like this shouldn't be out of print!
