Forgotten Provence

"Here is a true beakerful of the warm south: four centuries of song from herb-scented Provence, songs of love, songs of spring, songs and dances of the troubadours, traditional songs, motets sequences – a profusion of wonderful melodies, well-matched by the diversity of range and timbre of the performers… Martin Best displays his customary ease and wit, with those gliding ornaments that disappear discreetly into the fabric of the vocal line. Then there is Libby Crabtree with her clear, precise, yet glowing soprano voice… rollicking jollities… illuminating insert-notes."
