Testimony of a wandering Middle Ages that seeks against every adversity, the troubadour Peirol d'Auvèrnha crossed Europe at the beginning of the '200s to confront himself and his art with the dimension of the journey and with the social and cultural identities of lands and civilizations distant. He was born around 1160 in the castle of Peirol, in the Auvergne, in the commune of Rochefort-Montagne (the current department of Puy-de-Dôme). He received 34 chansons from him. The 17 with melodies are all collected in this intense cd signed by the Chamber of Tears of Bruno Bonhoure. At the time, the Occitan civilization was at its apogee, but almost foreseeing an epochal change (made official in 1209 by the Albigensian Crusade), from a certain moment Peirol began to distance himself from the ideal of courtly love. Around 1202 he left Montferrand, sang in various courts, also in Italy, and from 1221 undertook a long journey in the Holy Land and in Syria. After more than a year, on his return he married and gave up te wandering life. He died around 1225. The deep melodies of Peirol reflect the end of an era, and are presented as a small theater of the imaginary in which epic and everyday meet, the dimension of the wonderful and that of the real. Bruno Bonhoure relives them retracing the exotic journey of their author, with instruments of distant lands and great empathy, in a functional and balanced mixture of western and oriental in which word and rhythm reign with great finesse. • Massimo Rolando Zegna, Amadeus, April 2010 - The best of the month
