Bzyantine King At King Henry's Court : Christmas, 1400 London. [CD]

At the end of the fourteenth century, musical worlds collided in England as Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos spent Christmas at King Henry IV's royal court. For the first and only time, florid chant, polyphony, royal ceremonial, and imperial acclamations from both kingdoms and rites echoed antiphonally in London's Eltham Palace. Cappella Romana's performance is illuminated by the latest research on historically informed performance of medieval music.
