SINFONYE

SINFONYE are based around the singer and virtuoso medieval fiddle and hurdy-gurdy player, Stevie Wishart, who is joined on the latest CD album by collaborators Vivien Ellis and Jocelyn West (ex-Miranda Sex Garden). Sinfonye's Three Sisters on the Seashore (1995 LUN CD 333) is almost worth buying for the box alone, which is a tour de force of rococco exoticism, and features the three girls, naked shoulders and hair flowing, as three submerged mermaids.

The CD comprises French and English songs from the Thirteenth Century supplemented by 'Azeruz', a new work drawing on medieval sources and style. It is mostly sung in three parts and is all very 'ethereal'. Despite her deep interest in early music and high standing in the circles that perform and enjoy it, Stevie Wishart is no stranger to more modern involvements, so watch this Web space for future coverage.
