A little harsh, surely. I have played the bombarde and the shawm, and they take a great deal of strength, even if they do squawk. Go to the following site: _http://nnm.ru/blogs/maravilloso/the_waverly_consort_las_cantigas_de_santa_m aria/_ (http://nnm.ru/blogs/maravilloso/the_waverly_consort_las_cantigas_de_santa_maria/) for some additional input. See the nice pictures. Cheers, Alice In a message dated 12/9/2009 6:18:51 P.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
its pathetic if you ask me. The shawm player cannot play without skwacking and the Hurdy player cannot be heard. Incidentally the hurdy gurdy as such is not a medieval instrument. Only the simfonia and the organistrum existed in the middle ages. This performance is hardly what the this piece in the Cantigas de Santa Maria was meant to be I'm sure.
