Using babelfish? You still need to proofread.

The sender of this description (of a recording, I think) really needs to learn to check his work:

Loving things, that they never saw...
( Alfonso X, Partidas II, 13, 14)

The recreation that Cinco Siglos offer to day, after long years of study, must be built in the land of doubt, which is unsteady but fertile. These purely instrumental versions value those diverse melodies fertilized by contamination and are extremely precious to those who would penetrate the pleasure of early music.

Maybe it makes more sense in the (original?) French? I don't know; I don't speak the language:

Aimer des choses que nous n'avons jamais vues...
( Alfonso X, Partidas II, 13, 14)

Les musiques, que nous font aujourd'hui entendre le groupe Cinco Siglos, ont été construites sur la terre du doute. Cette terre est instable, mais au combien fertile ! Ces interprétations purement instrumentales issues d'influences croisées entre le judaïsme, le catholicisme et l'islam, sont indispensables pour comprendre et aimer la véritable musique.

Err, I don't see anything about Judaism, Catholicism, or Islam in the English...

Oh, and it was spam.

thanks. i was having a really hard time parsing that. i guess 'cause it seemed to me that "le groupe" was singular so couldn't be the subject of "font".

Les musiques, que nous font aujourd'hui entendre le groupe Cinco Siglos...

The clause "que nous font aujourd'hui entendre le groupe Cinco Siglos" is of type "relative non-déterminative" (417 b#2 in my grammaire Grévisse" and accompanies the term "les musiques".

I know it doesn't make much sense that something like music can do anything but you must not view that clause as something requiring a subject. It's just additional information about the musics.

I hope that I make sense. French grammar is hard to explain in English!
