Belle interprétation de cette page de Landini qui par sa fraîcheur toute spontanée nous ramène dans ces temps premiers du moyen-âge dont les jeunes interprètes témoignent avec de simples moyens de ce retour vers une Nature pure et spirituelle!

[@mikeg2924]

It is springtime whenever this music is played.

[@maryc.dalton1284]

Beautiful voices, wonderful performance.

[@danielungermann7055]

A very nice performance of this "hit" from the 14th century.

[@silver545454]

Brilliant! I stayed in my car to hear this and got further behind in line as a result and it was totally worth it.

[@jorgeabrahamlagunas4111]

i don't know why, but i just cried listening this...

[@simontuozzoli7742]

Just because you only have 733 likes doesn't mean you don't know what you are doing. Excellent work people!

[@Alkemie]

Thanks, Simon!

[@dsewell]

I've heard many renditions of this ballata over several decades and this is one of the best. Thanks for posting.

[@ptrad]

I think so. And see the Remdih

[@tiziocaio6236]

In what way one of the best ?

[@muhsinkanadikirik678]

*Harika bir yorumun huzur veren bir mükemmellik örneği!..* 👏🎼🤝🙏

[@MusicIsTheJoyOfLife]

I found your group while playing pentiment and being moved to tears by your rendition of "Ellend, du hast umfangen mich", titled "Sic arsit historia kiersis" in the game ... Fantastic job, thank you for your passionate interpretations of all this wonderful music.

[@Alkemie]

Thank you! We also love that tune - it is so haunting.

Fantastico!!!!

[@CaryatisAcropolitsa]

Ecco la primavera, Che’l cor fa rallegrare, Temp’è d’annamorare E star con lieta cera. Noi vegiam l’aria e’l tempo Che pur chiam’ allegrezza In questo vago tempo Ogni cosa vaghezza. L’erbe con gran freschezza E fior’ coprono i prati, E gli albori adornati Sono in simil manera. Ecco la primavera Che’l cor fa rallegrare Temp’è d’annamorare E star con lieta cera.

[@mnadezhdaglushko6255]

A song of spring from 700 years ago! This wonderful performance makes is fresh! Who made the soprano recorder? It looks like a Ganassi type.

[@Alkemie]

Good eyes! It is indeed a Ganassi type by Tom Prescott. Sian loves it.

[@kierstin1989]

Outstanding!!! I can't wait to share this with my Music Appreciation class!!!

[@Alkemie]

Thanks, Kierstin! We're so glad you enjoyed it.

Lindíssima❤

[@S.P.I.K.E]

So nice ❣️🇮🇳

[@barrysmith7710]

The, dare I say, definitive version of this is by David Munrow and the Early Music Consort of London. Ten times more energy than this, which I do like!

[@alisaholainen6334]

Oh my gosh! It's so wonderful! So gorgeous!

[@diegomilan9693]

[@vladimirz3301]

what is the name of that 5-stringed instrument which is hold vertically?

[@Alkemie]

Both string instruments here are 5-string vieles. In Landini's era there were no standard ways to build stringed instruments. Size, shape, number of strings, tuning, range, playing position, bowed vs plucked, skin front (like a banjo) vs wood front (like a fiddle) -- all of these elements were pretty much up in the air. Until someone finds a viele that has survived unaltered, our only instructions on how to build them are doodles in manuscript margins and the many musician gargoyles on European church walls.

[@faustalibardi4225]

Lovely.

[@TurgayErdener]

[@user-hw9tr7cf1v]

Could you tell the name of the instruments please?🤓

[@rodrigolopez4684]

wow, very good, have an score?

[@armanshannakian4040]

whats the name of the 5 stringed viola thatstarted playing in 0:25. thank youu

[@Alkemie]

hi arman - it's a vielle! in other words, a medieval fiddle. Niccolo and David are both playing vielles, but in different ways. (there was no standard!)

[@cristinabasiliohazas]

Amazing performance! What's the name of the drum? Thanks

[@Alkemie]

This is a frame drum made by master traditional percussionist and drum maker Glen Velez. It's constructed in order to play in many different traditions, but in my opinion it's pretty close to an Egyptian tar. The head is synthetic, but would traditionally have been goat skin

[@cristinabasiliohazas]

Thank you very much! 😀🎉

[@rogermoore27]

DAMN! You made my pores raise!

[@traceJH881]

how many parts does this work of art consist of?

[@therealzilch]

It's a duett

[@antoniosabbatino2600]

Mi chiedevo solo se fosse una viola da braccio oppure una lira da braccio, quella suonata nel video. Grazie per la risposta.

[@775987mb]

It’s a pity that the italian pronounce is not good. The sound is wonderful.

[@beachcatgirl17]

I'm italian. The pronoucination is pretty darn good.

[@geppetto2012]

The pronunciation is perfect

[@gabrielboi3465]

It's actually more than excellent. 100% perfect.
