Free Music Notes for Lost Songs of a Rhineland Harper [Hybrid SACD]Free Music Review: Utterly convincing as Music!Benjamin Bagby is a formidable scholar; though I'm an "early music" performer myself, I couldn't begin to challenge the historical authenticity of these performances. But I can swear they SOUND authentic. That is, I can imagine such performances by an 11th C minnesinger of the first rank, a world class poet/harper. This is a far more varied and enjoyable CD than Sequentia's "Edda", and one I will listen to purely for musical satisfaction. The lighter voices of tenor Eric Menzel and alto Agnethe Christensen complement perfectly the manly, world-knowing timbre of Bagby's mature voice, and Ms Christensen's Danish accent in Latin has a charm of its own, possibly sounding quite like how a Medieval Rhinelander might have pronounced Latin. The lyre/harp/flute accompaniments are more than mere noodling; they have musical substance to deliver. For the moment, for me, this CD is the gold-standard of performance of the "secular" 10th & 11th C repertoire.
