| About this CD | This CD tries to paint a picture of the devotion
for women in
mediaeval and early renaissance times; devotion to Maria, too, but especially the courtly
love, which often lead to heartbreak and tears. Recorded in the Geertekerk, Utrecht, Netherlands, March 1991 I bought this CD in a record shop in the Netherlands in 1998. |
