outstanding modern medieval music June 30, 2005

Finally this wonderful band is available in the US! I've been a fan for several years, and absolutely LOVE the rhythms and melodic adventures Corvus Corax has in store for their listeners. This CD has a few of their best offerings, but how they picked just these is beyond me. I haven't heard anything I didn't like. Add to the music the fact that they have researched the medieval instruments (all 50+ are handmade), and they have also designed their own adaptation of minstrels' costumes - and you have a group committed to being as authentic as possible -- without ever being boring or passe. Leave it to the Germans to show the world that the traditions and cultures of the distant past have much to offer the modern world. And the way these men play, the pounding rhythms and melodious bagpipes are perfectly at home at either a medieval faire, or on a modern concert stage.

A super CD! If your interested in medieval music, this is a perfect example. I can think of no other band that is so dedicated to bringing the best and most researched of such music to our ears.
I finally found a website in English that gives detailed information of this band. It can be found at: www.estuans-intrinsecus.com
Greetz to all :)

I saw them a the Pa Ren Faire and I immediately loved them. They have such a cool sound. I bought this CD at the Faire and while I have yet to finish listening to it I absolutely love it. I'm gonna take it into my German teacher and see if I can get her to play it. They are German after all. ^_^

This "Best of" CD offers a nice sampling of Corvus Corax's music. It is an energetic jump into the Medieval or Reniassance period with some muscle. Men chanting...who aren't monks. I'll leave it at that.
There is also a good (live) version of "Saltarello" included.
If you are a fan of "Dead Can Dance" this music will be in like kind but on speed. If you don't know "Dead Can Dance", for Heaven's sake, go look them up!

They bill themselfes as "the Rolling Stones of the Middle Ages", but they are more like Motley Crue. Definitely Celtic, but high-energy thrashing, not beautiful. You've gotta like it hard get into this. I own a couple of their albums and listen occasionaly. For something lighter, try "Faun".
