G.P.Telemann - Tutti Flauti!


24 tracks - MP3 192 Kbps - RAR 106Mb


DepositFiles - FileFactory


This CD is extraordinary in many ways, starting with the absolutely perfect choice of works. Granted, Telemann concertos are more or less foolproof, and it takes a pretty bad musician to ruin any piece by this composer. But even so, among all the delicious Telemann concertos available, these are some of the most scrumptious. Furthermore, they are served to the listener on a silver plate, with the best of sauces, and cooked by the best chefs.(...)
I will be quite direct: simply put, this is one of the best flute CDs that I have heard in quite a while, and it belongs in every library and collection. FANFARE: Laura Rónai

Beautiful and impressive playing like this sets the standards to which others must aspire! Early Music Review

Ghirardello da Firenze: Madrigali, Cacce, Ballate


16 tracks - MP3 192 Kbps - RAR 91Mb


DepositFiles - FileFactory

Ghirardello da Firenze (also known as Giovanni da Cascia) was a composer of the Italian trecento and a contemporary of Francesco Landini; he was also one of the earliest members of the so-called "Florentine Group" that dominated musical currents in the middle of the 14th century. Judging from the proliferation of his works in various manuscripts, Ghirardello's music was widely known and often played; he was also a pioneer in the production of madrigals. Despite his contemporary renown and excellent survival rate, the 14th century was a long, long time ago and even Landini doesn't have very many collections devoted solely to his work. On Nuova Era's Ghirardello da Firenze: Madrigali Cacce, Ballate Dal Codice Squarcialupi, period ensemble group Ensemble Modo Antiquo, led by Federico Maria Sardelli, plunge into the famed Squarcialupi Codex in order to extract a selection of 16 pieces by Ghirardello.

A warning!


Usually I prefer to buy the actual CD, even if second hand, but sometimes I buy digital music.
Amazon isn't allowed to sell that in my country so I try to find other ways.

Passionato used to be OK, but not too much choice.

Some days ago I bought two CDs in MP3 format for around €20 from 7Digital. The download operation was fine and smooth and the MP3 sounded OK, but... no booklet, no cover, not a txt with notes... nothing.
In this section of their site they wrote:

All new and recently-added MP3 downloads will contain artwork but downloads from the older part of our catalogue may not. However, we are working to deliver artwork with all MP3 downloads.

The music I downloaded was released this year, I supposed this qualify it as new.

So I wrote to them asking an explanation. They answered, but they "tweaked" their infos telling that if artwork is provided it will be made clear in the product page.

No hope, still I felt it was not right and ask them to remove the misleading piece of info from their site. They answered something generic but as today their site is always presenting the same false info.

So, be warned: I'm sure there are safest and cleaner places to buy your digital music from.

Eduardo Paniagua CD Collection [101 albums]


101 CD - MP3 192 Kbps - 101 RAR - 10.20 Gb


DepositFiles - FileFactory


Eduardo Paniagua (born 1952 in Madrid, Spain) is a Spanish architect and musician, specializing in medieval Spanish music.
Between 1966 and 1983, he was a member of the group Atrium Musicae de Madrid, led by his older brother Gregorio, playing wind instruments and percussion. More recently he has been a founding member of the groups Cálamus and Hoquetus which specialize in the music of Arabic Andalusia.
In 1994, he created the group Música Antigua to perform and record the Cantigas de Santa Maria. In the same year he also founded the group Ibn Báya Ensemble together with the oud player Omar Metioui, for the performance and recording of Andalusian music. Other regular collaborators include Moroccan singers Said Belcadi, Mohammed El-Arabi Serghini, and the Algerian oud player Salim Fergani.

Atrium Musicae de Madrid

Perhaps the group's most famous recording is Musique de la Grèce Antique (Music of Ancient Greece), in which they performed ancient Greek music carefully taken down off scattered fragments of still existing papyrus. Performing the ancient compositions also meant the reconstruction of an arsenal of ancient instruments. This certainly was a fascinating aspect of the group's life performances during a series of acclaimed international tours. The success of this 1978 recording is not the only feather in the group's collective cap. The 1976 Musique Arabo-Andalouse delves into Hispanic-Moslem music, and is credited with creating a whole new interest in this fascinating genre of southern Spain. From the late 1970s into the early 1980s the group began a series of recordings dealing with 15th and 16th century popular Spanish songs, then sailed to the New World for the fascinating Las Indias de Espana, a recording of Pre-Columbian music collected from archives. The decision to dissolve the group was no doubt based on some of the younger brothers' interest in beginning solo careers.

This compilation of records comes from different sources, some of the CDs are my own, some are made available from Avax (mainly Solaz, Yerbas...), some from Sonusantiqva, one from Abdel, some I don't remember.
Most of the infos comes from www.medieval.org

Links above lead you to a folder containing RARred files. They are identified by a catalog number, sometime it is official, sometime it is not.
(i.e. PN-010 Cantigas de Toledo is PN-010.rar, GP-MGA - Musique de la Grece Antique is GP-MGA.rar)
I posted an index on Avax (Here it would have taken too much space)
By reading THIS index you should be able to find out what you want.
Enjoy it.
