Our Take

After sifting through countless takes on Guillaume de Machaut's classic compositions, we were thrilled to stumble upon the collaborative effort of Marc Maillon, Angelique Maillon, Vivabiancaluna Biffi, and Pierre Hamon. This quartet brought a fresh, modern twist to the medieval tunes that have stood the test of time.

The album opens with a lively rendition of "Le Vray Remede d'Amour," where Marc Maillon's robust vocals take center stage, supported by Angelique Maillon's delicate harp playing. The addition of Vivabiancaluna Biffi's ethereal backing vocals and Pierre Hamon's masterful flute work adds layers of complexity to the track, creating a rich tapestry of sound that captivates the listener.

As the album progresses, tracks like "Douce Dame Jolie" and "Rose, Liz, Printemps, Verdure" showcase the musicians' versatility and musical prowess. Marc Maillon's emotive delivery shines on these more intimate tracks, while Angelique Maillon's harp weaves a magical backdrop for the haunting melodies.

While some may argue that modernizing centuries-old compositions is sacrilege, we applaud Marc Maillon, Angelique Maillon, Vivabiancaluna Biffi, and Pierre Hamon for breathing new life into Guillaume de Machaut's work. Their innovative approach is a testament to the timelessness of great music and the power of collaboration. So grab your goblet of mead and immerse yourself in this enchanting journey back to the Middle Ages. Cheers!
