Chansons & Ballades De Pizan / Vocame

The VocaMe vocal ensemble has committed itself to presenting exceptional female figures in early music, and the four ladies have already attracted much attention with the songs of Hildegard and Kassia. The secret of their success lies in their special approach to interpretation: against a background of thorough understanding of historical performance practice, the four singers and their musical director and instrumentalist Michael Popp feel their way into the ancient sources, which usually leave much room for conjecture. VocaMe has pursued this idea and used late medieval melodies and sounds to transform Christine's poetry into fascinating music.
