CD ReviewsAndrew Parrott and the Taverner Consort Stephan L. Burton | 06/22/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is Andrew Parrott's fine performance with the Taverner Consort of Machaut's Notre Dame Mass, originally released by EMI in 1984. Ever in pursuit of authenticity, Parrott excludes the sort of instrumental support that can be heard in some older versions, and lowers the pitch by a fourth, which gives the work a darker sound than usual. He also adopts a conjectural reconstruction of medieval French pronunciation of Latin.
Machaut's movements are placed in the context of liturgically appropriate plainchant, so the whole performance runs about 50 minutes." |
