Ambronay Éditions and Passacaille once again join forces to co-edit the 2nd volume of the Leuven Chansonnier by Sollazzo Ensemble.
The Leuven Chansonnier (1470–75) includes not only fifty compositions by such leading 15th century Franco-Flemish names as Johannes Ockeghem, Antoine Busnoys and Firminus Caron but also twelve newly rediscovered works that exist in no other source.
The Ensemble Sollazzo here brings a selection of this music to life in an interpretation that is both brilliant and refreshing. In this second opus, Anna Danilevskaia has chosen to surround herself with wind instruments (sackbut, chalemias) which accompany a male vocal trio of great beauty.
