Early music recs wanted

[ellid]

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.

:D

This one. (http://www.amazon.com/Way-Bethlehem-Music-Medieval-Pilgrim/dp/B00000144X) Cheap and wonderful. More generally -- anything by Anne Azema, although my favourite, The Unicorn (http://www.amazon.com/Unicorn-Trouveres/dp/B000005ECL/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1245726880&sr=1-1) has been discontinued.

I almost bought that one yesterday, believe it or not. I have Ensemble Unicorn's wonderful Black Madonna album - have you checked it out?

Anne Azema looks like a Renaissance angel. Sings like one, too. *sighs nostalgically and remembers having season tickets to the Boston Camerata*

It marries so many of my favourite kinds of music -- medieval, Balkan, Middle Eastern, Turkish... No, I haven't heard the Black Madonna album although I should give it a listen as it crosses over with some things I have on vinyl

I remember thinking, when I first heard Anne Azema -- and I bought The Unicorn when it came out on the off chance that it might be good -- this is the voice I've been waiting for.
