An extraordinary recording based on the famous middle-age manuscript Codex Faenza. L’Amorosa Caccia is led by Fabio Antonio Falcone, already responsible for the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik recording of Sweelinck’s harpsichord music (CC 72926).

The Codex Faenza is one of the most significant Ars Nova manuscripts, captivating musicians and musicologists alike. The remarkable collection features instrumental arrangements on Italian and French vocal works by renowned 14th-century composers like Francesco Landini, Guillaume de Machaut, Jacopo da Bologna, and Bartolino da Padova. Through a unique fusion of original vocal models, the version arranged from the codex and newly composed diminutions by the performer, L’Amorosa Caccia creates an immersive auditory journey, inviting listeners into a world where composition and reinterpretation unfold in a truly three-dimensional listening experience. L’Amorosa Cacciaperforms on copies of medieval instruments and on the organ of the Basilique de Valere (1435), the oldest playable organ still extant.
