In some respects, this is a commendable recording of 14th-century Florentine istanpitte. The performances are vibrant and the acoustic is masterfully captured by Alpha. Henri Agnel, the ensemble director, plays with verve, and the occasional technical edges in the ensemble playing are compensated for by interpretations which are almost always aesthetic.
