Description

The Elfin Knight - Ballads and Dances [c16](HMundi)[OGG][twistle]



See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elfin_Knight and associated links for some background info on the English Ballad :)

I came across this CD a couple of nights ago through some tracks uploaded to YouTube. I ordered it at once, and I cannot praise this CD highly enough! A contemporary take (but with a firm eye on maintaining some authenticity) on c16 music to accompany ballads of the period. Frederiksen's voice is treacle (an outstanding bass), and the harmonies and arrangements of the accompaniment are often stunning.

Take a look at : (alas the sound is a bit distorted on YouTube, but will give some idea)

(Watkins Ale - a bit more refined that the City Waites / Baltimore Consort versions! But still rude *gasp* :p )

(Scarborough Fair - ok, ok, I'll admit they kinda lost the "authentic" there, but it IS the final track on the CD :) )
