About this product
Medieval music often surprises us with it's oriental sounds. The East was a greater influence to Europe in the Middle Ages than it is often realized. The Moors ruled the Iberian Peninsula for almost 800 years, and the East and the South influenced our culture, including music, through Spain and the crusades. The lute, bow and several oriental percussion instruments made their way to Europe and that is why the music of the southern cultures sounds so natural on ancient instruments. As a holy city for three world religions, not only a 'Clash of Cultures' took place in Jerusalem at all times, but also a musical transfer. On their latest recording the ensemble Hortus Musicus explores this musical exchange. Many of the songs included are traditional Jewish songs or anonymous tunes of unknown specific origins, while three are by composers Walther von der Vogelweide and Neidhart von Reventhal.

The violinist Annette Unger has already made several highly praised CDs issued by GENUIN, and her new is also off the well-beaten path. All these pieces are wonderful, romantic enrichments of the standard repertoire, and the duo partners take every opportunity to let them sparkle.

The Pera Ensemble, the recipient of enthusiastic critical reactions on account of it's Inchrefined mixture of fragrances and flavorsInch and Incha two-way exploration and enrichment of soundscapesInch, takes it's name from a district of Istanbul which has been a melting pot of cultures and religions for more than two millennia. This diversity is also reflected in the makeup of the group, where well-known specialists in European historical performance rub creative shoulders with leading representatives of Middle Eastern art music. This cultural adventure, directed by Mehmet C. Yesilcay, is set on wresting related early music out from behind closed museum doors in order to stimulate strong sensations and emotions. Offered up on this album is a cultural panoply as presented by Jerusalem. With it the Pera Ensemble brings demonstrations of soundscapes from another time, in which the full exuberance of early Middle Eastern Baroque is mirrored in the care taken over questions regarding sources and instrumentation. Jerusalem, that rendezvous, is the city of peace, despite all the conflicts - and bridges need to be built to span across all the supposed disagreement. Dialogue has always been facilitated by two factors food and music. Where Eastern cuisine finds plenty of it's creative ideas in spices and exotic ingredients, the Pera Ensemble strives to integrate a parallel philosophy into it's programmes. Piyyutim (in Hebrew, naturally), Eastern timbres, the whole mixed into a Baroque framework in sound. Music from Medieval Spain, Baroque music, Sephardic music, Eastern music. All with a zestful Turkish character.
