Title: Slavic Holiday Fine Contribution to Early Music
Review: It's about time someone turned their attention to the wealth of music from early Eastern Europe. This disc captures so many things: breathtaking motets from the Prague manuscript Codex Specialnik, Polish Renaissance motets (with an obvious Italian influence), lusty songs to various saints and heroes (some sounding more like folk music than the typical "sacred" sound), and gorgeous spiritual songs reminiscent of the likes of Hildegard von Bingen. This may seem like a Christmas disc, but I know I'll be enjoying it all year long.
