CD
In Food, Wine and Song, the Orlando Consort serves up a variety of music from the late Medieval through Renaissance periods, each song featuring texts about food and drink. The CD begins in late medieval France and England and moves chronologically through Italy, Burgundy, Spain, Portugal, ending in late Renaissance Germany. The sound of the quartet is always outstanding and this CD is no exception. The doleful ?Adieu ces bons vins de Lannoys? (track 15), by Guillaume Dufay is particularly beautiful with its sorrowful melody and haunting harmonies. As an added bonus, included with this CD is an accompanying cookbook. Prepared by world renowned chefs, these tasty recipes correspond with ingredients found in the songs. A number even come from medieval sources. For a real treat, try the Orange Omelette for Pimps and Harlots! For a true feast, try Food, Wine and Song. It will surely please the palate.
