“Cappella Romana’s founder and music director, scholar and musicologist Alexander Lingas, has deeply researched what is known of both the Byzantine (eastern) and Latin (western) liturgical Christmas music of the time and assembled on this album, selections from both traditions that are known or likely to have been performed at those Christmas services in 1400. Oh, to have been a plague-carrying flea on the that wall. Failing that, we have this album, performed and recorded in Cappella Romana’s usual superb quality.”
