Description:
What charming "ugliness"! The music of the Renaissance is richly evoked in song and ancient instrumental sounds. Literary scholar Philip Thomson once declared in his book "Grotesque" (1972) that he could "find no musical work to which the concept of grotesque could be applied" unless it was interpreted very broadly, The Capella de Ministrellas, an ancient music group based in the Valencia region of eastern Spain, refuted this claim with a single album of stunning eloquence. With eighteen examples from a vast array of surviving works from the late Middle Ages to the end of the Renaissance, the group demonstrated through a remarkably varied performance practice that music, like art and literature, can embody theatrical and literary ugliness without giving up any of its inherent charms. The skill with which he conveys the sometimes humorous ugliness latent in the verses and sound effects, sometimes through his superb performance, and sometimes through his richly theatrical interpretation that resembles a radio drama, is like the mastery of Renaissance painters of the heyday who could not help but charm the audience while exposing the darkness of human psychology with their ever-changing facial expressions. The paintings are like the masterpieces of the Renaissance painters of the High Renaissance. The Spanish Ensalada, the Italian Villanesca, the Madrigale Commedia, and many other pieces that can only be performed with the ability to depict not only beauty but also the ridiculous, can be fully appreciated through the highly skilled and sensitive singing and playing of ancient musical instruments.The engineering of the CdM label, which conveys the contours of the sound well, is also exquisite. The commentary (in Valencian-Catalan with English and French translations) is also worthwhile, as it delves into the etymology and meaning of the word "grotesque. Naxos Japan
