SUMMARY .................................................................................................................................................................................... A'Lestampida was The Dufay Collective's first CD, recorded in 1991 and re-released on Avie to mark the 15th anniversary of the band. It remains one of the Dufay's most popular recordings. The content is a mixture of instrumental pieces from French, Italian and English sources which represent the full sound world of the medieval minstrel, from gentle flute and harp to blasting shawms, trumpet and percussion. That idea has been the m.o. for all subsequent medieval recordings the group has made.
