OK what is the "real" stuff; do we have have evidence medieval sang it like you think they do? Everyone has a right to do it their way; who cares if it's entertainment; I wouln't say dumbing down; it's an artist impression of what might've sounded like, nothing wrong with that.

Explain what is the real thing; then I may get somewhere. Do you any evidence what other performers do is the real thing? It's music, we're talking about not about whether it's right or wrong meeting! Yes it's entertainment, but Corvus Corax isnt that well known outside Germany, so wouldn't call it showbiz. Why do people have a problem of an artist impression? OK as many gaelic bands, Clannad, Capercaillie, Runrig; do we have evidence that when gaelic was popular; they done it "EXACTLY" like a band or an artist does?

It's about fusing different styles, why you think Clannad, Capercaillie, Runrig, Julie Fowlis, Kathleen Macinnes, Mary Jane Lamond, Paul Mounsey are popular nowadays? Is it a crime to do it your way; and what is the right way of doing a song? There is no or right way; yes it may cause debates but Corvus Corax isnt at FAULT for doing it their way, same way a gaelic band/artist do it their way! Do we have evidence that's how they sang; do we have evidence that's how they performed their music. They didn't have cameras 500 years ago; how you say it's the real thing without any proof. Music is an universal language; it reaches people; country/jazz is quite modern only since the 19th century; gaelic from over 500 years, medieval evan longer. It's like if you saw a archaeological dig and found pottery; can you assume if you saw that; would you know what clothes they were wearing, or what music they would perform? No you cannot; we dont know how medieval music sounded, yes there are manuscripts; but they only transribe the lyrics/notes but no concrete evidence they singing the sing as it was written because we dont know. We can only go by the record books; to bands like Corvus Corax, Qntal, In Extremo and medieval performers; everyone has their own impression, it may not be the right one; but if that artist/happy then that's what matters; who cares if they are popular or not.
