Mare Balticum Vol. I

Music in medieval Denmark

13th - 15th century
Ensemble Peregrina
Agnieszka Budzińska-Bennett
& Benjamin Bagby

EAN/barcode: 4009850024309

The project Mare Balticum aims to present the medieval musical heritage of the Baltic Sea region in the 12th-15th centuries. It consists of four musical programmes, prepared in great detail, and employing the newest musicological, philological, historical and organological research. Each of these programmes presents the local character of a different coastal region of Balticum, its specific historical and cultural situation, its most important saints and rulers, and the Christian roots of the relevant country.
They provide an insight into the local literature and musical repertories of medieval Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Germany, and Poland; both Latin and the vernacular are represented, as well as the diversity of historical musical instruments used in those regions at the time.
The project as a whole, however, aims to show something of the strong political and cultural connections between those medieval countries, their development over time, and the similarities between them, all of which are essential to our understanding of the common identity and history of Balticum, as is reflected to us through its centuries of music.
(Agnieszka Budzińska-Bennett)
As special guest we welcome Benjamin Bagby.

Early Music America (01/17/2022):

--> original review

(...) their musicality is absolutely top-notch, from the clarity of the text to the beautiful shape of the melodic lines, the quality and sensitivity of the instrumental accompaniments and solo works, the suppleness, control, blend, and tuning throughout—they are utterly convincing. more...

Schweizer Musikzeitung (05/30/2018):

Agnieszka Budzińska-Bennett et son ensemble Peregrina nous proposent un enregistrement remarquable en tous points. more...

CD HotList (05/07/2018):

(...) The vocal works are sometimes sung by a solo voice and sometimes in unison by the wonderful Ensemble Peregrina, the liner notes are extensive and informative (...). more...

Toccata - Alte Musik aktuell 95/2018 (05/01/2018):

(...) Sowohl von Seiten der Musikalität als auch der Musikwissenschaft sind die (...) Interpretationen makellos. Das war natürlich bei Peregrina zu erwarten. Und in Benjamin Bagby hat man ja auch einen Altmeister (...) mit ins Boot geholt. more...

CONCERTO - Das Magazin für alte Musik Nr. 278, Seite 47 (03/01/2018):

(...) Alles wirkt in einer Weise selbstverständlich und natürlich, dass man ungeachtet des rudimentären Wissens über die Aufführungspraxis mittelalterlicher Musik - zumal auf Dänemark bezogen - denkt, nur so und nicht anders könne diese Musik klingen. more...

High Fidelity Poland (02/01/2018):

The new TACET CD is perfect in any aspect. Recorded in a big church space it shows beautiful juicy, full-bodied voices (...). The music itself and the sound beautifully complement each other (...) Perfect!
