Joel Cohen has been a leader in the field of early music interpretation and recording for over thirty years. His groundbreaking recordings of medieval European music have won awards around the world. During the 1990s he turned his attention to early American music with very attractive results. This cd was produced in collaboration with the Sabbathday Lake Shakers. The repertoire was carefully selected, as shown by the accompanying liner notes. The performances range from intimate to bombastic, but are always highly professional. Recommended.
