The Lady and the Unicorn

"The Lady and the Unicorn" - a solo album by British folk musician John Renbourn. With this release, Renbourn delves into the territory of folk and medieval music. The first few compositions (1, 2, 3.1) are taken from Add MS 29987, a Tuscan musical manuscript from the late 14th or early 15th century. The album also features works by Guillaume de Machaut (3.2), Claude Gervaise (4.1), Robert Johnson (4.2), an unknown author (5.1), John Dowland (5.2), Johann Sebastian Bach (6), John Renbourn (7), and three traditional compositions (8). The pieces are mainly performed on the guitar. For some inexplicable reason, Indian sitar and tabla are sometimes heard. The cover features an image from one of the six medieval tapestries from the series "The Lady and the Unicorn".
