  • After hearing this it's hard to maintain the prejudice that modern man is more sophisticated that medieval man.

  • Does anyone know the title and artist of the painting featured here?

  • @Jcurry1985 Petrus Christus, Portrait of a young lady.

  • @luciangabrielpopescu : the paiting is by Petrus Christus, one of the so called Flemish Premitif painters

  • @micrologus2 I have great admiration for this painting. It's very well executed and full of mystery and expressivity.

  • !!

  • That´s my life you ask, odd I can deny it:

    well to love and to regret is the life that give me.

    Who could serve so well as I have served?

    My to live who could have suffered?

    Why do you ask me the grief that should pass? Therefore love and to regret is the life that you give me.

  • To have such wonderful music at one's fingertips on YouTube, is a real blessing!!! Once again, i salute the poster of this delightful composition and perfomance: i hope you keep your collection of musical treasures on YouTube and available to the world, indefinitely.....

  • It's true, but we've to say also that the Flemish took a lot of techniques from Italy.

  • The Flemish were the best composers in that century and Italy payed much to bring them at there aristocratic places.

  • @onretilom What is life, you ask me, I can´t deny it: love and grief are my life because of you. Who else can serve you as finely as I had served you? Who else would have chosen my life, so full of effort? Why do you ask me about the pain I must still suffer? For love and grief are my life because of you.

    More or less! =P

  • where can i find the lyrics and where can i find a translation in english?

  • Lyrics: Que´s mi vida preguntáis, non vos lo puedo negar : bien amar y lamentar es la vida que me dais. ¿Quién vos pudiese servir tan bien como yo he servido? Mi trabajado vivir ¿quién pudiera haber sufrido? ¿Para qué me preguntáis la pena que he de pasar? Pues amar y lamentar es la vida que me dais.
  • Despite my earlier critical comment, this has to be among the greatest recordings in my youtube collection.

  • Montserrat Figueras and Jordi Savall, brilliant is not enough the word

  • que voz tan armoniosa!!!!

    linda musica del renacimiento!!

  • Does anyone have the lyrics/ text to this beautiful song?  If so, could you please share?

  • very nice

  • This music is the most sweet and spiritual thing of the Renaissance. thanks for up load it.

  • A Master setting the tone for the centuries to come

  • Is it just me or does the singing sound a bit too "modern" here? Like early baroque. It's beautiful, but I miss something. Irrelevant side-issue: she (on the picture) doesn't seem too friendly either!:)

  • I really like the picture, I think it sets a mood which the music can revel in. One of young and beautiful sadness.

    And yeah, I think you're probably right about the voice.

  • She wears the same expression as Chloe O'Brien

  • I can see why he is so renowned. I don't care for most Medieval music but this is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for posting

    Johannes Ockeghem c1410-1425, Saint-Ghislain, Belgium February 6, c1497, Tours, France) was the most famous composer of the Franco-Flemish School in the last half of the 15th century, and is often considered the most influential composer between Dufay and Josquin des Prez. In addition to being a renowned composer, he was also an honored singer, choirmaster, and teacher.

  • Dear micrologus2

    Would you be so kind to tell us to whom belongs the beautiful female voice?

    Thank you very much.
