Music for Mona Lisa [c15] (Metronome/Blaze) [MP3] [twistle]

This is a CD of fifteenth century secular song and dance, performed in a manner not dissimilar to the (much earlier) recordings of Jordi Savall.

Quite a few fun tracks on here [4,8,10,18]. and a good mix of styles and instruments. Robin Blaze, as ever, does a decent job throughout, and personally I prefer Blaze in track 18 to, for example, the version of the same as sung by Kirkby.
