LA FETE DE L'ANE-CLEMENCIC CONSORT-HARMONIA MUNDI (FRANCE) HM 1036
The translation of the title is: "The Feast of the Fools", at least according to the notes enclosed in the record jacket. Others say it is "The Feast of the Ass". What is not in question is the unusual nature of the record. It is supposed to be a recreation of the (then) traditional "end of the year" celebration which started during the Middle Ages and did not end until the 16th Century, despite the strong efforts by the Catholic Church to stop it during this time.
The festival consisted of the common people celebrating and "letting off some steam"; especially insulting the Church, the Mass, and the clergy, and all of this was supposed to happen inside the churches themselves. I'm not certain of the historical accuracy of this recording, but I can tell you that an unsuspecting observer might think some of it comes from a real-life insane asylum. If I divulge any more, it would compromise the "surprise factor" for the first-time listener.
As for the sonics, they are truly phenomenal, and in every way. There is a large, focused soundstage, with superb inner and outer detail. The sound is natural and very transparent and immediate.
