Dunstable: Cathedral Sounds

Editorial Reviews
Album Description
John Dunstable, "an astrologian, mathematician, musician, and whatnot," was born around 1390 in England and died on December 24, 1453 in London. "On the eve of Christ’s birth this star rose up into heaven" – this is about all that is known of Dunstable, one of the very greatest Western composers of his time. Without Dunstable and the contemporary English school of "contenance angloise" which he wholly embodies, one cannot imagine the later existence of so-called Dutch or Franco-Flemish polyphony, the basis of Western classical polyphony. René Clemencic is a composer, conductor, harpsichordist, recorder & clavichord virtuoso, musicologist, and founder & leader of one of the most renowned early music groups, the Clemencic Consort. They have given concerts all over the world and have won international awards, including the Edison, Grand Prix du Disque, Diapason d’Or and Prix Cecilia, for their numerous recordings.

The composer that we forgot to remember.......2001-09-10

Well, this recording was
a first time for me. Before
this I have only heard one
short motet by this master.
I admit that I was very curious,
and surprise when I heard some
of his works in this disc. In
his music you can hear the middles
ages, but you can also hear the
renaissance.There are several mass
movements in this recording, probably
from a now lost extended mass. Dunstble's
music is enigmatic, and etheral.I can't
think of a reason of why posterity
has not been fair with Dunstable.
The Clemenic Consort, conducted by
Rene Clemenic(Its founder) take us
on a musical tour back to the
late middle ages, and they do a very
good job, Mr. Clemenic plays on a Gothic
organ.The notes are good, they do not
offer much on the history of the composer,
because very little is known about Dunstable.
Wonderful recordng, great music, highly
recomended...

Get it!.......2000-04-01
