The Curious Bards // Indiscretion

Tras un formidable primer álbum [Ex]tradition, los Curious Bards, conjunto de música antigua fundado por la violinista Alix Boivert en 2015, prosiguen su exploración del corpus musical irlandés y escocés del siglo XVIII. Este álbum de melodías para cantar y bailar nos lleva en un viaje de descubrimiento a través de repertorios sorprendentes, donde las distinciones entre la música culta y la inspiración popular ya no se aplican realmente.

Following on their impressive debut album [Ex]tradition, the Curious Bards—an early-music ensemble founded by violinist Alix Boivert in 2015—continue to explore material from the Scottish and Irish folk traditions preserved in 18th-century publications. This new collection of airs and dances is a chance to discover more of this fascinating repertoire, in which the distinctions between serious music and popular inspiration need no longer apply.
