Ecco la Primavera: Music from 14th Century Florence - Early Music Consort of London (dir. David Munrow)

"Like the whole antiquarian business, Early Music is a 20th century phenomenon. After two world wars, we're not very keen on looking into the future. We prefer to look back at what, superficially at any rate, look like brighter and simpler times. Of course, that's a vast illusion. We like to enjoy our early music in a world that has lavatories and central heating, don't we?" (David Munrow, numa entrevista à "Gramophone" de Maio de 1974, citado por Rob Young em Electric Eden)
