A group at the forefront of the European medieval music scene shares its perspective on “Florence”]\nThe Solazzo Ensemble is an early music group that continues to make a striking impact across Europe, primarily in Switzerland, France, and the United Kingdom. Their existing recordings, released on labels such as Linn Records and Ambronay, have garnered rave reviews even from magazines not specialized in early music, including the Gramophone Magazine Annual Award in the UK and the Diapason d’Or in France. This is likely due in no small part to the group’s unwavering commitment to conceptual integrity in their album production. This newly recorded album, with its deeply thought-out structure and beautiful cover art, is a work that generates great anticipation.\n\nThe title “Florence, 1350” indicates that this album focuses on Florence during the era when it was the preeminent city-state in central Italy, prior to the rise of the Medici family. Neither the splendid Renaissance architecture nor the great works of art existed there yet. The 14th century was an era of plague and civil strife, a time when the city was ravaged by war due to the conflict between the imperial and papal factions—a time when survival itself was impossible without wisdom. It was precisely because of these circumstances that literary giants such as Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio brought such splendor to Florence during this period. Yet music, too, undoubtedly served to unite the hearts of the city’s people. The members of Solazzo skillfully play the viella (a medieval fiddle) and other early plucked instruments. Alongside vocals that vividly capture the nuances of the music, they maintain the listener’s engagement throughout the program with a compelling, magnetic presence that does not require the audience to possess deep expertise in early music. Thanks to the precise engineering of renowned recording engineer Christoph Frommen, this is an album that captivates with its early music sound, brought to life with a natural dynamic response.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ambronay Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595672903969,"sku":"4589538752798","price":2970.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538752798.jpg?v=1790482229","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538752798","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
