Description
The challenges and rewards of performing early music are here vividly illustrated by The Binchois Consort, as creative scholarship comes to the aid of
two substantial—but fragmentary—works by Jacob Obrecht, and an audacious recorded sound attempts to recreate the experience of the original
performers 500 years ago.
An album set to attract huge interest from critics and Renaissance scholars alike.
'The whole exercise is absurdly quixotic, but built on a close understanding of how Obrecht functioned; and the results, full of the most surprising insights, are thoroughly convincing' – Gramophone
Music for the King of Scots (CDA68333)
"There is some really super singing here..The immersive expereince of this track in particular will stay with me for a long time." - Gramophone
