The New York Times describes their music as "meltingly beautiful," and this highly anticipated release from Sylvia Rhyne and Eric Redlinger, aka Asteria, reveals the full, quiet power and scope of their intimate performance style. Eighteen tracks explore the symbolism of the close of the medieval period in Europe, and a bonus track gives a preview of their upcoming album of early 16th century Parisian chansons. Full liner notes and fourteen scores from the album included with download.
