This review is from: Close Encounters in Early Music: Le Temps des Legendes: Medieval and Renaissance Music from Byzantium, Spain, Italy, France, Flanders, Russia (Audio CD)

This assemblage of early music includes acapella pieces as well as instrumental. It is the ultimate beginner (and expert) CD to Middle Age music. The CD features such wonderful groups as Micrologus and the Greek bizantine Choir. Opus 111 has a great selection of Bizantine music, so look for their other CDs.

When I first saw this disc, i thought the label was opus 3 (scandinavian audiophile label) since it appears in Amazon as Opus III. But, it ends to be Opus 111 (french label). Has quality, but not as much as Opus 3 usually has. A terrible mistake.
