This is a very beautiful CD! ‘Mneme’ contains a varied collection of music from Middle Ages and renaissance all around the Mediterranean. Here, sensuality and joy of life are convincingly expressed through music.

There’s a whirling dervish quality to instrumental dances such as the Ghaetta and Saltarello (led by director Dimitris Kountouras’s excellent recorder-playing), and the sensuous and minimalistic filigree accompaniment in the traditional Sefardic song ‘Puncha Puncha’ (“Pungent, pungent is the rose’s perfume”) is bewitching, as is the dramatic ‘Rosa Des Rosas’ honoring the Virgin Mary as a courtly Lady.
