Medieval Melody

The Indian Express by Pallavi Pundir

On Monday evening, as members of a Spanish ensemble gathered to make some music at the India International Centre, the audience was quickly transported to the hallowed cathedrals and domed castles of medieval Spain. Yet, instead of the lavishly gowned operatic singer, and men in medieval tights playing harps, the artistes kept to modern outfits. Capella de Ministrers, a unique Valencian ensemble responsible for reviving the medieval Spanish music (from the 12th to 19th century), gave its debut performance in the Capital.
