专辑简介
“A gale of a good time" - Esquire
... and an opportunity to experience the musical diversity of this great label afresh, as we roll out some fabulous recordings and evoke a certain joie de vivre....no more so than in music for Rrenaissance wind band - bagpipes, hurdy-gurdies, shawms, crumhorns, and sackbuts, along with flutes, lutes, recorders, cittern, dulcian and guitar. Their instructions were: “loud" for outdoors, “soft" for indoors. “A treat for jaded ears" - (Gramophone)
RENAISSANCE GRUNGE: Piffaro, a Philadelphia-based septet, puts the rowdy and rambunctious back into dances from before the time of Bach, with Canzoni e Danze, its debut CD for the usually placid Archiv label (a division of classical giant Deutsche Grammophon): Bagpipes, a hurdy-gurdy, shawms, appropriately named “rackets", and other instruments are heard playing gritty, even bawdy Italian dance music from the 1500s. Gentle contrast is offered by music from the courts and chapels, but Piffaro's goal, well-realized here, is to huff and puff and blow the house down with a gale of good-time instrumental songs and dances.? - Raymond Tuttle, Esquire (April 1996)
