On the Way to Bethlehem
Review By MauriceGerald,August 2009

This should be listened to alongside the Oni Wytar's companion album 'From Byzantium to Andalusia' to get a fascinating insight into the roots of northern European music. A 'must' for lovers of medieval music, it should be a revelation to those that believe that music began in the Renaissance. Here are the same overlays of sacred and secular that later flowered in the masses of Notre Dame; here also the parallels in Eastern melismata. The Oni Wytars musicologists and brilliant musicians make a good case here for their interpretations; but all interpretations of the music of this period are speculative and others may equally legitimately take different approaches. Either way, it will be a sad person who does not enjoy this pilgrimage.
