Art of Love: Music of Machaut is an album by Robert Sadin, released in 2009.
Sadin "conceived, produced, and served as mixer for the album, arranged the music and texts of the songs by Guillaume de Machaut, as well as singing and playing clarinet and organ on some of the tracks." [1] Each of the tracks is partly improvised. [1] Two tracks are by different composers: "Brad's Interlude" by Brad Mehldau and "Evocation" by Milton Nascimento. [1]
The album was released by Deutsche Grammophon on September 1, 2009. [2]
The AllMusic reviewer concluded that "Deutsche Grammophon's sound is immaculate with a warm intimacy. This beautifully executed CD should appeal to fans of jazz/classical crossover." [1]
Guillaume de Machaut was a French poet and composer of late Medieval music who was the central figure of the ars nova style. Immensely influential, Machaut is regarded as the most important composer and poet of the 14th century and is the first significant composer whose name is known. Daniel Leech-Wilkinson called him "the last great poet who was also a composer", and well into the 15th century Machaut's poetry was greatly admired and imitated by other poets, including Geoffrey Chaucer.
