Baltimore Consort, watch out. You'd better keep on your toes because Minstrelsy is here! The Minneapolis based group Minstrelsy! consists of five accomplished musicians (Nancy Froseth, viola da gamba, recorders, David Hays, baroque violin, Carole Hofstad-Lee, soprano, David Livingston, winds, and Phillip Rukavina, lutes) who specialize in historically informed performances of music composed during the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque eras. This stunning recording includes works by Rosseter, Lawes, Dowland, Arne, Praetorius, Campion and Pachelbel (no, NOT the piece you think!) Minstrelsy's reputation for precise ensemble work and musical variety is already well established from their many concerts tours throughout the US., and is a real highlight of their first LEMS CD. Combinations of recorder, violin, voice, pardessus de viole, etc., are supported by a "plucked" basso continuo section of archlute and bass viola da gamba. The musical fabric is intimate, lively and full of color. Minstrelsy! possibly the midwest's finest gift to the world of music! Tracks:1.
