Where it came from
Released in 1987 by the Soviet state label Melodiya, this recording features the ensemble Hortus Musicus performing medieval musical compositions inspired by Yugoslavian manuscripts dating from the 10th to the 12th centuries. The production emerged from the cultural exchange and scholarly interest in Eastern European antiquity prevalent in the Eastern Bloc during the late 1980s, serving as an effort to archive and interpret ecclesiastical and folk-influenced sounds from the early medieval Balkans.
The album reflects the work of Hortus Musicus, an Estonian early music consort founded in 1972 by violinist Andres Mustonen. The ensemble became renowned for its unconventional, vibrant approach to early music, choosing to prioritize rhythmic vitality and expressive performance over strict adherence to academic austerity. This specific record was received as a noteworthy contribution to Melodiya’s catalog of historical music, highlighting the ensemble's ability to revitalize obscure manuscript notations into accessible auditory experiences.
