专辑简介
With a rich display of medieval polyphonic works and Gregorian chant illustrating the theme of the Tree of Jesse, Dominique Vellard and the Ensemble Gilles Binchois turn their attention to biblical texts with a clarity that calls to mind the intricacy of illuminated manuscripts, the vitality of stained-glass windows and the bold colours of both. Brought to life here are stories of characters from the Bible such as Job, Jonah, Solomon, Rachel, Balaam and Moses alongside the New Testament genealogy of Christ, the recording made in a beautiful church in the South of Burgundy.
Dominique Vellard's own vocal prowess, steeped in oral as well as written traditions from both East and West shines out anew in a much-awaited recording set to delight the legion of fans of the Ensemble Gilles Binchois. The redoubled enthusiasm and energy of the Ensemble Gilles Binchois, so audible on L'Arbre de Jessé, along with the group's exploration of the beauty and naturalness of sound are set to form a highlight of Glossa's releases over coming years with promised forays into the early Baroque and the great polyphony of the 16th century.
