About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Christopher Page and the Gothic Voices' 1985 release The Garden of Zephyrus: Courtly Songs of the Early Fifteenth Century was the follow-up to their career-making 1984 recording A Feather on the Breath of God: Sequences and Hymns by Abbess Hildegard of Bingen -- and it is nearly as beautiful as its predecessor albeit in an entirely different way. Where their freshman disc was all austere spirituality incarnated in harmonically outré music, their sophomore offering is all, or just about all, love songs embodied in harmonically sensual music. Don't come to Guillaume Dufay's pensive "Mon cuer me fait tous dis penser" (My heart makes me think continually) expecting "I've Got You Under My Skin" or Anthonello da Caserta's aching "Amour m'a le cuer mis en tel martire" (Love has set my heart in such torment) expecting "Tristan und Isolde." But if fresh and expressive solos, duets, trios, and quartets from the tail end of the medieval period performed by six clear-toned, heartfelt singers to the occasional accompaniment of a medieval harp recorded in clear and close digital sound appears enchanting, The Garden of Zephyrus is the disc for you. James Leonard, All Music Guide
