Freiburg Spielleyt

The Freiburger Spielleyt is a unique ensemble based in Freiburg, Germany, though initially described as Swiss in some sources. Founded in 1990, this group focuses on performing early music, spanning from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance and into the early Baroque period. Their repertoire also explores crossover styles, combining early music with other genres like classical crossover and jazz.

Their music encompasses a wide range of historical periods and styles, including Christmas songs from old hymnbooks and medieval pieces inspired by literary and musical figures from Europe. Despite their diverse influences, the ensemble is particularly noted for its exploration of medieval music traditions, as seen in their recent releases like "Camino De Santiago" and albums featuring works by Oswald Von Wolkenstein and other medieval composers.

If you're looking for further specific details about their recent releases, like "Weihnacht der Spielleyt" or "Medieval Music - Alfonso X," they showcase the ensemble's dedication to both traditional early music and themed projects.
