I was listening to Manheim Steamroller's "Fresh Air III" the other day and my daughter told me it sounded medieval even though it obviously uses modern instruments with old world sounding instruments. I would call it modern medieval music. I consider this album to be very well recorded. The first track, "Tacotta" is a great demo track. You may already know about the "Fresh Air" series, but if you don't, it might be worth your time to check it out.
Medieval-style music
I'm trying to find good recordings of medieval-style music (not necessarily historically informed), based on music from Spain, France, etc. XI-XIV ages. I liked Les Jongleurs de la Mandragore from Quebec, and some recordings from Dorian, even Azam Ali. Can anyone recommend anything else? My system is... too revealing, so the recording quality is critical.
