  • Description

    Miraculously saved from the conflagration of war, the Krasinski Codex takes us back to fifteenth-century Poland. The heart of the country is Krakow, where the royal castle resounds with music by the first Polish composers known by name, as well as works by European masters such as Johannes Ciconia and Zachara da Teramo. The first complete recording of the manuscript under the direction of Agnieszka Budzinska-Bennett was undertaken by the international Ensemble Dragma, presenting the entire palette of medieval instruments in virtuoso compositions, while the pure voices of the ensemble Peregrina invited to collaborate present the vocal works. Recognised early music specialists are a guarantee of thoughful and beautiful renditions of the fascinating compositions from the Krasinski manuscript, many of which will be heard for the first time after 600 years.
