I'm particularly interested in pilgrimage songs, but any good early music collection will do. I just picked up a CD by the New London Consort and am craving more.

If you specifically want pilgrim songs, I believe that Alla Francesca did a recording of Llibre Vermeill. So did Hesperion XX/XXI (Jordi Savall's group). Sequentia didn't (IIRC), but most of their recordings of medieval Spanish songs should scratch that itch; ditto Altramar and Ensemble Alcatraz.

Re: Just My $0.02
Date: 2009-06-23 12:24 pm (UTC)From:I tend to sing Dowland more than listen to him :-) so I don't have any recs off the top of my head--I can check after I get home tonight. Is it just Kirkby, or do you not like British vocal style generally?

I can provide recs for recordings of medieval secular monody, if anyone's interested....

OK.
We should probably update these (I have some newer discs to add), but this or this should get you started :-)

Very educational, in the best possible sense, and will expose you to a lot of different genres and artists.
I also have undying love for Tallis, Gibbons, and Palestrina, but I'm not sure if you'd still count them as early. (I would, but it's clearly not the same as the high or late mediaeval stuff).

(I don't have any of these particular albums, but like the others of theirs I have heard before.)
