Chansons et Danceries (French Renaissance Wind Music)
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
I really doubt that anyone but an expert could tell the difference between the French music in this collection and the music in Piffaro's Italian collection. Both discs are equally charming; both feature the same variety of well-played, tasty-sounding period instruments. Both have moments of reflective beauty, but most of the music makes you feel like getting up and dancing. If you don't know this period, start out with this disc or with Canzone e Danze (Archiv 445 883-2). Both will cheer you up, and the bright sound of the Renaissance instruments makes them ideal companions for car trips. --Leslie Gerber

Very good renaissance faire, but it doesn't stand out........2005-12-04
'Chansons et Danceries' is Philadelphia band Piffaro's second of three albums I have heard. The first deals with Italian music and the third covers Spanish music. Not being an expert in Renaissance music, much less French Renaissance music, I can only give my impressions.
My best comparison among Renaissance performers is the Spanish Eduardo Paniagua Group, who specialize in stringed instruments. As such, Piffaro is a very nice complement, but they simply don't touch the heart quite as effectively as Paniagua and some other medieval performers.
All the music is excellently composed. In fact, several pieces are by the famous Renaissance musician, Josquin Desprez.
If you like Piffaro's other albums, you will like this. If you are not a fan of 'old music', you will miss little by taking a pass on this recording.
Not up to Pifaro's standards.......2002-04-02
Perhaps, instead, I should say, "Not up to my standards for Piffaro." This CD over-emphasizes the slow recorder or lute music that I always skip, and doesn't have much in the way of the faster, toe-tapping bagpipe or shawm music that made Piffaro poular. This CD is worth having, but only after you have Piffaro's Flemish and German CD's.

Hauntingly beautiful........1998-12-01
We purchased this CD somewhat on a whim, based on an unsatisfied fondness for medieval sackbut music. This recording, however, provides much, much more and has rapidly become one of our favorites. Its haunting beauty is both relaxing and inspiring. We highly recommend it.

Well worth the price.......2001-05-01
Lovely music, beautiful performance, the recording is well-done (IMO). The attached booklet is informative and not too heavy. If you're not a French Renaissance freek, though, you might prefer not to listen to this CD in "one stroke" from beginning to end, because for the amateur listener it might sound a little monotoneous.
