Ensemble Anonymus — A la Via!

A la Via!
Street music from the 13th to the 16th century
Co-produced by Strada and Anonymus
FL 2 3070, ANALEKTA, Fleurs de Lys, 1995

The selections chosen for this recording were performed by Strada during the first Médiévales de Québec festival in 1993 — music that the washerwoman and the court jester once danced to, music that contributed to the magical atmosphere of the carnival. Every other year, for five days in mid-August, an unforgettable celebration of the Renaissance and the Middle Ages takes place against the charming backdrop of the walled city of Old Québec, with its unique architecture, history and European atmosphere.
