The feats of King Arthur and his Knights have inspired artistic creation in many art forms. In this disc we hear how troubadours spread their stories and we journey through twelfth-, thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Europe to encounter the Arthurian musical traditions of Germany, Spain, France and England. Full of allusions to legend, and also to contemporary events, the songs are masterpieces of their time. The composers include Alonso X el Sabio of Spain and Richard the Lionheart, whose Je nulls homs priz is one of the most beautiful of all medieval songs. Tenor JoseFerrero studied singing in Valencia with Ana Luisa Chova and has appeared as a soloist with distinguished conductors and colleagues, performing in Europe's principal theatres and festivals. His interest in early music led to the foundation in 2002 of the ensemble Capilla Antigua de Chinchilla, also recorded on Endechar (Naxos 8.572443).

Pleasant Medieval Melodies
The romantic Arthurian stories are Medieval, and in that vein this music fits well. The more likely historical time frame is 5-10th century, so who knows of King Arthur or even Alfred enjoyed such sounds.

This is not just harp music
I was looking for relaxation music - harp only. This CD includes boisterous singing. If you don't mind that, this CD may be for you. My CD has a defect at the end and gets stuck. I am underwhelmed with this product. I ordered a Celtic harp CD after receiving this, hoping for something more like I had expected.

So Relaxing
I really love this CD and so happy I purchased it! Very relaxing to just sit back in my chair and take the time to close my eyes and listen. I am transformed to another time and place.
