...Boston Camerata--Joel Cohen, music director; "Two Musician Poets: Guillaume de Machaut and John Dowland"; Sanders Theater...
Poppea, of course, was performed on original instruments, as were the week's other concerts, which included "A Venetian Festival" presented by the excellent Boston Camerata.

The album of folk-inspired Christmas music, a welcome change from today's homogenized carols, ranges from a 12th century Latin tune, Ad cantus leticie, to a rousing Gloucestershire Wassail from modern Britain. Marc-Antoine Charpentier's Mass, based on French Christmas carols, is a graceful work, and the voices of The Boston Camerata are perfectly balanced...
