Info zu Adiu, adiu dous dame

Adiu, Adiu Dous Dame, a new digital-only recording by period ensemble La Rota, brings medieval Italian songs to life. Fourteenth-century Florence was one of the most important centres of music and culture in medieval Europe. Despite such setbacks as war, political strife, and the plague, art and music flourished, giving rise to such composers as Francesco Landini, Lorenzo da Firenze (Lorenzo Masini), Donato da Firenze and Gherardello da Firenze. The music on this recording comes from rare medieval manuscripts preserved in libraries in Florence, Paris, and London.

Sarah Barnes, soprano
Emilie Brûlé, medieval fiddle
Esteban La Rotta, gittern, gothic harp, lute
Tobie Miller, recorder, hurdy gurdy
