  Our new CD of Burgundian music has just been released on Yarlung Records. You can also download tracks from Linn Records online.    
   
   
   
   
Critics and Artists alike are already praising this recording...
 


"Ciaramella plays brilliantly on shawms, sackbuts, bagpipes, and recorders -- this is some of the best Renaissance wind playing in the world. Their new recording of Music from the Court of Burgundy includes old favorites like Josquin's La Spagna along with some brand new 15th century-style improvisations for wind band by Adam Gilbert. The music is sometimes raucous, sometimes sweet, but always compelling."
(Maria Coldwell, Early Music America, July 9, 2009)

“From their smooth conjuring of the sound of solemn grandeur to their obvious ease with the most wildly virtuosic compositional and improvisational techniques of the day, the members of Ciaramella are masters of 15th-century Burgundian music -- earthly, earthy, and divine. ”
(Marsha Genensky, Anonymous 4, July 9, 2009)

Critics Rave...
“A keen blend of historical authority and sheer panache”
"Everyone in this exceptional octet of early musicians exudes joy and purpose while weaving polyphonic lines with uncommon esprit de corps."

(Donald Rosenberg, The Cleveland Plain Dealer , Nov 2, 2004)

“Although late 15th-century counterpoint is exceptionally intricate, the Ciaramella players performed it with the ease of jazz musicians improvising on a theme.”
(Wilma Salisbury, The Cleveland Plain Dealer , June 26, 2004)

“A model of consort playing for all to notice.”
(American Recorder Magazine, September, 2006)

“One of the finest ensembles in the world today for this special repertoire.”
(Rebekah Ahrendt, The San Francisco Classical Voice, January 16, 2006)
